Summary
A powerful memoir of overcoming adversity that will inspire you to find strength from within and shape your own destiny.
Bharti Dhir faced many challenges in her childhood that could have broken her. As a baby, she was abandoned at a roadside in the Ugandan heat and miraculously found by a passerby. By divine guidance, Bharti's adoptive mother was led to her hospital cot and welcomed Bharti into their Punjabi Sikh family. Despite experiencing sexism and racism as an Asian-African girl and developing an incurable skin condition, Bharti found hope through the fear and prejudice.
Then, in 1972 when Idi Amin expelled Asians from Uganda, Bharti's family were forced to flee to the UK. She remembers the horrific moment when her adoptive mother was ordered, at gunpoint, to abandon Bharti because of the color of her skin. With incredible courage, she refused, risking their lives to protect Bharti as her own.
Throughout her struggles, Bharti retained faith in a divine power within all of us that gives us strength, protects us, and loves us unconditionally. Years later, now a social worker specializing in child protection, Bharti lives in the UK with an adopted daughter of her own and has found her true purpose and sense of self-worth.

Beautifully written!
An untold Her-story - everyone needs to read! It tells the complex experience of a girl growing up in Uganda with an Indian culture imported by her family enmeshed into the fabric of African life. It’s a valuable documentary and also powerful memoir of the incredible survival journey of this family in the face of exile. The author takes a look at imposed worth, self worth, self esteem and belonging and the essence of a person through the epidermis. I cried 3 times reading this, joy sorrow and relief for this girl who is an incredible heroine. It’s well paced, intense in parts, heartwarming and also funny. The writing is so personal and adventurous it could be heard as fiction, and the fact it’s not just makes it even more well *worth* the read.
