520    It's 1947, and India, newly independent of British rule, 
       has been separated into two countries: Pakistan and India.
       The divide has created much tension between Hindus and 
       Muslims, and hundreds of thousands are killed crossing 
       borders.  Half-Muslim, half-Hindu twelve-year-old Nisha 
       doesn't know where she belongs, or what her country is 
       anymore. When Papa decides it's too dangerous to stay in 
       what is now Pakistan, Nisha and her family become refugees
       and embark first by train but later on foot to reach her 
       new home. The journey is long, difficult, and dangerous, 
       and after losing her mother as a baby, Nisha can't imagine
       losing her homeland, too. But even if her country has been
       ripped apart, Nisha still believes in the possibility of 
       putting herself back together.  Told through Nisha's 
       letters to her mother, The Night Diary is a heartfelt 
       story of one girl's search for home, for her own 
       identity...and for a hopeful future.
