Book Excerpt

Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)

Rama knelt. Lord Viththal’s feet were slick. Rama swallowed and moved her lips, but she didn’t pray. She bent forward, allowing her scarf to cover her face and came within an inch of the god’s feet. No, I can’t do it. Hoping to avoid detection, Rama knelt as long as she could bear the cloying floral scent competing with the incense. The priest handed Rama a garland taken from the god’s neck.
