Home is Where - Paperback

Home is Where tells of the journeys - across continents, over time, and through the challenges of family love, loss and letting go - of Margaret Beetham, whose parents were Helen and Lesslie Newbigin, missionaries in India between the 1930s and the 1970s.

The life and thoughts of her father, one of the twentieth century's most admired missionary theologians, have been well documented, but the experiences of a missionary's family are rarely told. This is Margaret's story, centred around the profound effects on a young girl of being sent away from the heat, colour and safety of her Indian home to an old-fashioned boarding school in England, and her relationship with the younger sister nearest to her in age, entrusted to her care in childhood and in later life.
