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.
