Unending Shrieks
Rama's struggles seem different from ours, but in many ways they're the same. She follows her passionate commitments. She looks for love and acceptance. She makes a few wrong turns, and retraces her steps. Rama never waivers in her goals or supporting her cause, but others do. Teacher, fundraiser, mentor - where does it end? Now she's in America to raise funds. She addressed a meeting to convince supporters to pledge more donations. Judith, her friend and sponsor, urges her to go on a speaking tour to rally the rank and file. And Rama is just so tired and discouraged. She can't be two places at once. She can't do everything. But she must. Do you ever feel like that?
Book Excerpt
Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
Back at 36 Rutledge Square, Rama kicked off her shoes and fell against the pillows. Judith had put her in the same room she’d used ten years ago. Rama stared at flickering shadows the lamp projected onto the ceiling. Judith wanted her to go on speaking tours again. Inspire the Ramabai Circles to continue. Dear God, I’m one person. I can’t do everything. Tears slipped down Rama’s cheeks. I should be at home.
Minnie doesn’t know how to get the most out of the workmen. What if the refugees are ill? I should be there. From deep inside Rama felt a sob start in her heart and work its way through her lungs and out her throat. And then another and another. From a distance Rama heard unending shrieks.
