Jungle Paths and Palace Treasures

About the Book

When Mary Sellers' husband was offered a Foreign Service position, she was ecstatic. The couple and their children headed for India anticipating whatever might lie ahead. They found the adventure of a lifetime. In a world of fabulous palaces, temples, crowded towns and remote jungles, they coped with monsoons, stalking tigers and strange customs. There were moments of despair, moments of joy and moments of terror. They traveled thousands of miles throughout the heart of India, sometimes on tracks so impassable they had to park the jeep and walk through the jungle. As the family encountered a mysterious land, they learned from their experiences and the individuals they came to know and love. The book offers readers a chance to share the romance, beauty and surprises of a journey that changed this family's lives forever.
