The poems in this book are divided into three sections and include the poems from Music on a Mountain Path. In Section I the author recreates impressions from her childhood, growing up as an American in the forties in India, much of it during British rule. Section II is about her father and the four generations of his expatriate family in India as told through family stories. The earlier poems in Section III have their genesis in her trips to India as an adult, and the later, more reflective ones, thoughts about family and our world, closing the circle.
