Linda Stevens came to Mala Nagar, India, to do research on the potters and clay-makers of that region. During her stay, the town is cast into national prominence because a holy man, who has taken up residence in an abandoned, burned-out house on Prayer Hill, starts performing miracles. Soon, with the guiding hand of the holy man orchestrating events, Linda assumes the role of a foster mother and becomes the central force in the lives of a young orphan boy named Gopal, and a homeless beggar girl named Qabila. Through an extraordinary catenation of events, -all inside the patchwork of miracles, -Linda becomes the manager of the Miracle of the Rose Children's Center. This, the third book in a trilogy, shows how compassion, caring, and direct action can make a transformative difference in the lives of needy, lost, and dispossessed children. Funny, poignant, and richly clothed in humanity, the story presents a charming picture of Indian life and Indian culture.
