SMALL ACTS OF<br />
AMAZING COURAGE<br />
by Gloria Whelan; read by Mandy Williams<br />
In 1918, fifteen-year-old Rosalind lives in India<br />
with her English parents. Rosalind sees the country<br />
slowly change. A man named Ghandi is coming<br />
to power, talking about independence from<br />
Britain. Rosalind longs to live the life that her<br />
heart tells her, not what her parents prescribe for<br />
her, but no one seems to listen.<br />
