Miss Grace Linnell joined Mahbubia Girls' School, Hyderabad in 1992, giving it her energy, strength and, above all, her time to set systems in place to encourage women's education in the city in pre-Independence days. In 1956, Miss Linnell joined Women's College and put it firmly on its feet. Soon, she joined forces with Miss Oliphant, principal of Welham Boys' School, Dehradun, and established Welham Girls' School, a premier education institute in India. Miss Linnell had made India her home and education her mission, touching and impacting many people's lives. In this heart-warming book, Khatija Akbar revives Miss Linnell's memory through conversations with her students who remember her fondly, teachers who worked with her and to whom she was a constant source of inspiration, and her letters to her family and friends. A fitting tribute to an indomitable spirit and a very fine human being.
