(3) YA In 1946, sixteen-year-old April has to spend a year in a tuberculosis sanatorium. Throughout her illness, she receives support from her father, her roommates, and a young Indian prince, Ravi, also a patient. Romance flowers, though cross-cultural difficulties climax when Ravi's father announces an arranged marriage. This fictionalized autobiography convinces by authentic detail.
