Beskrivelse
The world around a three-year-old girl, abandoned in the heart of Mumbai, churns with the consequences of abject poverty. With little awareness of life beyond survival, the child and her pack-mates focus on the present moment as they dig in garbage for food, drink water with the cows and sleep on the sidewalk. Claire Kaine is a high-powered corporate executive working in India. She lives a life of abundance but hasn't allowed herself to feel the warmth of friendship for many years. It is only when she sees the tiny girl bathing in the hotel fountain that her corporate facade begins to soften. The powerful bond that grows between Claire and the child influences the lives of many others like ripples in a pond. This carefully researched novel highlights critical changes in India's history during the 1990s. Marcia Breece tells a story of community, kindness, and hope while inviting the reader to witness the unbreakable bonds of love and the healing power of compassion.
