A National Book Award winner in the children's category, this lovely book is especially noteworthy for its strong sense of place. Set mostly in the holy cities of Benares and Vrindavan along the Ganges River, it's the story of a 13-year-old girl who must fend for herself after her intended in-laws cast her out of their home. The title is taken from a poem by Rabindranath Tagore. Ages 8 to 12.
