COME BACK JUDY BABA, Memoirs of India by Mary Hargreaves Norbury and Judy Norbury, are the stories of mother and daughter; the double story of two brave women.
In 1948, Mary Hargreaves Norbury moved from Vancouver, British Columbia, to a small village near Mirzapur in northern India to marry an English carpet manufacturer. This is her fascinating account of life as a post-Raj Memsahib.
Mary gave birth to two daughters at the Mussoorie hill station. When her eldest daughter, Judy, contracted polio, the family moved back to Canada. Judy's memoir picks up the story, recalling her year in a children s hospital, painful therapy and a trip to Lourdes. Undaunted by polio, she grew up to be a mother and a successful singer-songwriter. After more than forty years, she returned to India in search of the little girl she'd been.
