Sisters of Mokama

The Pioneering Women Who Brought Hope and Healing to India

Jyoti Thottam

Follow the journey of six Kentucky nuns who travelled to India to build a hospital in one of its poorest states. The hospital, run almost entirely by women, was determined to provide the highest possible standard of care to anyone who needed it, regardless of caste or religion. Fascinated by her mother's involvement in the project, New York Times editor Jyoti Thottam sets out to uncover the full story of Nazareth Hospital, combining American and Indian perspectives. Sisters of Mokama tells the inspiring story of these ordinary women who succeeded against the odds during the years after World War II and Partition.
