Hamid's baby sister is blind. Once his stepfather finds this out, baby Kinza is going to be sold to a beggar, because people take pity and give generous money to blind children.
So, a plan is hatched. Hamid will sneak away with his sister. He will journey until he finds the home of the English nurse in another town, many days away. Hamid's mother told him that this nurse can heal Kinza's sight.
This was a wonderful story that I enjoyed very much. Many lessons can be learned by reading it.
Once again, a fantastic story by Patricia St. John!

a missionary story par excellence
Come to Morocco and see the world through the eyes of a poor boy, abused by his stepfather and living in darkness, who finds the truth when he rescues his blind little sister from the life of a beggar's slave. The missionary nurse in the story is a woman much like the author. The local color in this book is fascinating, the author writes like a poet, and the ending is both satisfying and challenging. A great book to read to your children and enjoy yourself.
