Kim Excerpt
Short Summary: In British-ruled India, a street-smart orphan named Kim is swept into a life of espionage, self-discovery, and spiritual questioning as he serves both the British secret service and his holy Tibetan lama friend.
"Who is Kim?" the boy asked, touching his chest. "Kim is Kim. And what is Kim?"
He was white, yet brown. Christian, yet steeped in the language and life of bazaars. When the British agents discovered his potential, they handed him papers, not alms.
"There is a game," whispered the Colonel. "A great game between empires. You’ll learn it quickly, my boy."
But between disguises and secrets, Kim carried a satchel for his lama and listened to truths not found in British briefings. "All paths lead to the River," the lama said. "Even yours."
Adventure and awakening move side by side through dusty roads, monasteries, and military camps—until Kim must decide who he is and where he truly belongs.
