Summary: Amy Carmichael
Review: Carmichael is truly an inspired writer. This was one book that I could not put down. She writes of a personal experience which is true of many Christians today- persecution and hatred against them. I thank God for writers like Amy Carmichael, Corrie Ten Boom, and Elisabeth Elliot.

Summary: Amazing but true love story of a woman and her God
Review: Mimosa lived in rural India around the turn of the last century. At a young age, Mimosa becomes truly smitten with the God who loves her and who created all things - the Christian God.

There is no nearby church that she can attend. Because of the strict caste system there are no Christians in her community to whom she can go and talk. She does not have a Bible and if she did she could not read it. And though she does not even know this God of Love's name, she prayerfully and joyfully endures ostracism and hatred from her Hindu family and community when her conscience demands that she break from the traditions of the day.

The book paints the portrait of a woman who loves the God who made her; is faithful to her convictions, strong and lovely. Mimosa's story is truly a humbling and awe inspiring one.
