Two days ago, My 9 years old daughter made me sit down and read a book. "Molly's Pilgrim" As I was reading tears started flowing and I could barely finish the book as I was now sobbing. My daughter sat next to me and told me the feeling she has at school.
My older daughter went through the same treatment as she was going through 1-8 class. Life was hard for the only Indian girl in the entire school district. It is an old town where history has not been for diversity. Now my younger one goes through the same. I have tried several times to make friends with the moms, but other than free baby sitting for them nothing has ever grown into anything else to help my girls. In fact those kids were the worst as they knew a few more things about our family... Vegetarian food with fruits and vegetables, homework before TV, strictness towards computer use, Mom a Yoga teacher, a designer for clothing and accessories.
Nothing fits in the normal life of those kids and their Moms who frequented bars or dated guys!
Reading the book and about the author it only makes me proud that very soon I will have strong and highly successful women. I can't wait to see the bright future this painful present bring
