Homeless Bird by Gloria Whelan
However, I'm glad I went through further. I got used to the description and the story caught up very well as it progressed. Although the story revolved around the child widow, the surroundings and people around her, were very well portrayed too. I haven't been to the side of India that the story is based on, but going by my knowledge from documentaries, movies and TV shows, the writer did absolute justice to the portrayal of places, people and customs. The character's progress was believable and positive. The ending did perfect justice to the story, and the progression towards the ending was very well drafted too.
