Description
Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, born in India, is an acclaimed novelist for adults and award-winning poet who teaches creative writing at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, California, where she also serves as president of MAITRI, a helpline for South Asian women. "Neela" is part of the Girls of Many Lands series which was an American Girl series of eight books and display-only dolls that spanned several countries and time periods. In this story, Neela finds herself caught between the village traditions of India and her sympathy with the freedom fighters who seek to free India from British rule in 1939. When her father disappears to fight with them, she risks her life and reputation to try to find him. - from Amzon
