Never Doubt That the Unending Love of a Fatherโor the Pure Faith of a ChildโCan Change Lives โHis name is Ashish. His name is blessing. The boy is my blessing.โ Virat and Latha named their son Ashish, for he is the light and glory of their world. Yet a simple drink of water changes all their lives forever. For Virat, Latha, and Ashish are Untouchables, members of a caste who must never contaminate the world of the other, higher, castes. When Ashish mistakenly drinks from the wrong cup, heโs badly beaten. Knowing that his son needs a doctorโwhich takes moneyโVirat ventures into the dangerous realm of the high caste. He begs Mammen Samuel Varghese, the wealthy landowner and Christian, for money. He receives the loanโalong with a life of slavery for himself and his family. But Mammen Samuel does not understand the strength of a fatherโs love, the power of a young British nurse who could not forget a boy named Blessingโor the faith of a child.
