London. Century Publishing. 1985. Stock ID #173752 "When a series of misfortunes stranded Jainub and her children, this young Afrikaans mother had to find the courage and determination to survive in a community where poverty was as much an integral ingredient of life as the age-old traditions and religious beliefs woven into the very fabric of an existence lived close to nature. As her story unfolds, Ummie's charm and character provide the reader with a vivid understanding of everyday life in a far-off corner of India before it was exposed to the momentous changes taking place in the surrounding mountains." - Publisher's description.
