A remarkable memoir that chronicles the triumph over adversity, inspiring readers to tap into their inner strength and shape their own destinies. Bharti Dhir's journey was fraught with numerous hurdles that could have shattered her spirit. As a newborn, she was left abandoned on a roadside in the scorching heat of Uganda, only to be miraculously discovered by a passerby. By a twist of fate, Bharti's adoptive mother was guided to her hospital cot, where she was welcomed into the Punjabi-Sikh family. Despite facing sexism and racism as an Asian-African girl and grappling with an incurable skin condition, Bharti found solace in the face of fear and prejudice.

In 1972, when Idi Amin expelled Asians from Uganda, Bharti's family found themselves compelled to flee to the United Kingdom. She vividly recalls the harrowing moment when her adoptive mother, under duress and at gunpoint, was ordered to relinquish Bharti solely due to the color of her skin. In a display of immense courage, she steadfastly refused, risking their very lives to shield Bharti as her own.

Throughout her trials, Bharti clung to the unwavering belief in a divine power that resides within each of us, providing us with strength, safeguarding us, and loving us unconditionally. Years later, as a social worker specializing in child protection, Bharti resides in the United Kingdom, raising an adopted daughter of her own. In this newfound chapter of her life, she has discovered her true purpose and embraced a profound sense of self-worth.
