Born in British India to an itinerant Sanskrit scholar, Rama defied social boundaries to recite the sacred legends.

Book Excerpt

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

Rama hung her head. “I always take an intellectual approach. I read what other people write as much as I read the Bible. Maybe more. In some ways the last book I read was the most shocking. Hudson Taylor started the China Inland Mission. He’s never asked for money. He said he just prays about it, and things work out. I’m thinking about the farm God wants us to have. I’ve decided not to worry about the purchase money. I’m sure the farm will be ours.” Rama twisted her fingers. “Although, I’ll still request funding from America. Judith already knows about it, so I may as well.”
