The Journeys of Rowena Sunita Singh follows the colorful and dramatic adventures of an uneducated girl born in a coal-mining town in Wales. Raped repeatedly by her father, Rowena runs away to London, and after working as a nursing auxiliary in a hospital, meets an Indian aristocrat who is in England on business. They marry after her father sells her for 50, and travel back to Punjab, India. Rowena begins a new life and has three children with her husband and two with her paramour. She becomes an accomplished hostess, entertaining the likes of Lord Mountbatten, Mahatma Ghandhi, and Omar Sharif. Ultimately, Rowena's marriage falls apart, and her affair with her lover becomes violent. Coupled with the extreme uprising between the Hindu and Moslem factions in the country, desperate circumstances force her back to England, with the aid of the British Government. Aboard ship, where the yet unknown Cliff Richards is strumming his guitar, she meets her true soul-mate, Joseph Gordon. More adventures ensue for Rowena over the years and a return trip to Wales presents surprising and dramatic resolutions. The Journeys of Rowena Sunita Singh is a uniquely entertaining and interesting chronicle of an extraordinary woman who lived a distinctive, unforgettable life.
