Summary	This story delves into the mind and heart of a little girl who lived in two different worlds - one, of her white-skinned privileged American missionary parents, and the other, of the brown-skinned Indian people in whose country they worked and into which, in 1936, she was born. The narrative tells of the young girl's survival and coming of age in India and America, of tropical illnesses, a treacherous ocean voyage during wartime, long separations from her parents, seven years in boarding school, and at last, America and college.
