This sequel to SMALL ACTS OF AMAZING COURAGE (2011) continues 
to follow the life of Rosalind James, torn between the world 
she lives in with her strict father, a major in the British 
Indian Army, and the wider world of India, where followers of 
Gandhi spread the message of peace and independence.  When she 
gets the opportunity to meet the Prince of Wales, who is 
visiting the area, she must decide whether to speak up about 
the poverty and caste restrictions she sees in the streets of 
India, or stay loyal to the ruling British government. This 
book is engaging and gives readers a broader view of the world 
around them.
