Small Acts of Amazing Courage

Ok, I picked it up because of the cover.  Cute, huh?  Reads like a short story.  About Rosalind, daughter of a British army officer in India, who at age 15 is wrestling with right and wrong and finding her own moral compass.  Background of Indian National Congress and rise of Ghandi as Indian liberator.  If I were teaching a 5th or 6th grade class on British colonialism, I’d use this book.  If I were recommending a book to a friend right now, I would send you down this list to State of Wonder by Ann Patchett — also themes of colonialism/paternalism.
