Summary, etc. This book is the story told through the eyes of a young American lady, LaNelma Johnson, who pioneered to Panchgani in India in the 1970s with her husband, Dr. Ray Johnson and their three small children to serve the Bahá'í Faith. This is the story of her struggles to come to terms with day-to-da y life in India; her challenges as a mother trying to nurture her children to become world citizens and be of service to humanity; her experiences as teacher of the Faith who goes to villages and becomes part of an extended family with village families; and above all her commitment to serve as the Director of Residence of the New Era High School and substitute Mother for hundreds of Children. LaNelma Johnson captures the adventure, humor and nuance of both rural and urban India. Throughout the reader follows her journey, which in the end is nothing but a love story – a love of family, friends, faith and a culture and people.
