Publisher's Summary

A powerful memoir of overcoming adversity that will inspire you to find strength from within and shape your own destiny.

Bharti Dhir faced many challenges in her childhood that could have broken her. As a baby, she was abandoned at a roadside in the Ugandan heat and miraculously found by a passerby. By divine guidance, Bharti's adoptive mother was led to her hospital cot and welcomed Bharti into their Punjabi Sikh family. Despite experiencing sexism and racism as an Asian-African girl and developing an incurable skin condition, Bharti found hope through the fear and prejudice.

Then, in 1972 when Idi Amin expelled Asians from Uganda, Bharti's family were forced to flee to the UK. She remembers the horrific moment when her adoptive mother was ordered, at gunpoint, to abandon Bharti because of the color of her skin. With incredible courage, she refused, risking their lives to protect Bharti as her own.

Throughout her struggles, Bharti retained faith in a divine power within all of us that gives us strength, protects us, and loves us unconditionally. Years later, now a social worker specializing in child protection, Bharti lives in the UK with an adopted daughter of her own and has found her true purpose and sense of self-worth.

LOVE this book!

I can not even describe what a beautiful story this is. The author shares unimaginable life experiences through human feelings we can all relate to. Honestly, I almost didn’t give this book a chance simply because it didn’t have many reviews at the time I purchased. I’m grateful to have learned my lesson though and to have had the opportunity to hear the truly incredible outlook the author has because of the life she has lived. Bharti will inspire and touch anyone who reads this. The narrator’s voice is lovely too. Very well read and I felt like she drew my into the story with the expression & honesty in her voice.

I love what she teaches in this book about our worth, not judging and how religion can be misleading when we are all from the same source so we need to stay in communion with our divine guidance and remember how much value we all have!

Spellbinding. Really well written and performed.

The story of a family in Uganda it is so spellbinding. You get such a picture of how it was to live there in the 50s and 60s. It’s told in such a vivid details and presents an emotional feeling of how it was to live there before and after eating them in. Part of goes through how one of the young daughters needed medical help and all the different ways they tried to get help, through witch doctors and regular doctors and priest and shamans. It’s fascinating.
