Veena loves her home, especially the kitchen, where she loves learning how to make roti. But her life is upended when India’s new freedom from British rule means the country will be divided in two according to religion. Fearing for their safety, Veena’s family flees in the middle of the night, ending up in a dusty, crowded refugee camp. Life there is difficult, and even the roti is different from what she remembers from home. How can Veena use her roti skills to bring hope and comfort to the camp? Readers will appreciate this warm and heartfelt story showing how, in uncertain times, a taste of home can make all the difference.
