Qabila Finds A Home

Linda Stevens came to Mala Nagar, India, to do research on the potters and clay-makers of that region. During her stay, the town is cast into national prominence because a holy man, who has taken up residence in an abandoned, burned-out house on Prayer Hill, starts performing miracles. Soon, with the guiding hand of the holy man orchestrating events, Linda assumes the role of a foster mother and becomes the central force in the lives of a young orphan boy named Gopal, and a homeless beggar girl named Qabila. Through an extraordinary catenation of events,—all inside the patchwork of miracles,—Linda becomes the manager of the Miracle of the Rose Children’s Center. This, the third book in a trilogy, shows how compassion, caring, and direct action can make a transformative difference in the lives of needy, lost, and dispossessed children. Funny, poignant, and richly clothed in humanity, the story presents a charming picture of Indian life and Indian culture.
