This is an eight year old girl's account of the years leading up to and during the Partition of India in 1947. The early years are filled with mundane observations of household events and characters. "The family's simple life changes forever with the Partition of of India...and the creation of Pakistan for Muslims; Hindus and Sikhs remaining in the state of India. As citizens of the newly formed Pakistan, this family's everyday reality begins to shift with the changing times, threatening to destroy a child's security and trust forever."
