The Least of These: the Graham Staines Story
The social fabric of life in 1990s rural India is disintegrating. Christian missionaries are getting the blame and being accused of illegal conversion activities. When Manav Banerjee, a journalist, agrees to investigate the world of Australian missionary, Graham Staines, he enters a world of outcasts - the world of lepers. While avoiding all possible contact with these untouchables, Manav uncovers truths that he had not anticipated and his words spark actions that he had not intended. The subsequent repercussions lead him to a place where hard choices must be made.

After watching the movie by the same name , I wanted to read the book. It was a bit different than I expected, told wholly from the journalist's perspective, but still, an excellent retelling, (as was the movie) and almost more special, to read the change of heart he had through the time he knew the Staines. I highly recommend them both. This book is a novella, so a very quick read.
