India in 1924 and attended two international
schools in India, Kodaikanal and Woodstock,
before coming to the United States for university
studies in 1942.
She has produced a heartwarming profile of her
mother and father, two courageous individuals
who were confirmed in their resolve to serve
God and His people. In all, Helen’s parents spent
37 years in India, as well as 9 years in home missions in the United States
after their retirement.
Alongside the personal history, the letters tell the story of India during a
time of tremendous upheaval and historical significance, as the country
fought its way to independence. There are letters that tell of meetings
with great leaders such as Jawaharlal Nehru, Mahatma Gandhi, and
Vinoba Bhave, the author of the land-gift or “sarvodaya” movement.
A non-violent revolutionary in the tradition of Gandhi, he collected
millions of acres of land to distribute to the landless.
Helen’s parents were an American couple who clearly cared deeply for
equality, human dignity and social justice.view less
