It’s 1918 and 15-year old Rosalind, who is British, is living in India with her mother.  When WWI ends, her strict father returns, unhappy with Rosalind for her spunkiness and interest in India gaining its freedom from the British.  Rosy calls on her own courage several times throughout the book — as she is shipped off to England, alone, for a better education, to sneak off to listen to Mahatma Ganhdi speak, and to give courage to her Aunt Louise who is bullied by Aunt Ethyl.  Gloria Whelan’s writing style once again invites you in to the inner thoughts and struggles of the protagonist, while learning political history and Hindi vocabulary.
