About the Author

She was born Bhadrabala Barot, and is now Bala Thomson. As one of eight children of strict Hindu parents, she might have expected a calm orthodox life, but her parents were also liberal thinkers. They educated their children to question any of the values by which they were guided into life’s challenges. Bala’s Story tells of one Indian girl’s journey from a quiet East African country into a western world that was moving fast from its own traditions, no more so than the fusion of east and west as two young people in love find their place in the new multi-racial, multi-cultural world they were helping to create.
