In India, five-year-old Naggya witnesses the brutal murder of his mother. Running for his life, he miraculously finds his Aunty before he starves in the streets or falls prey to the depraved. But even then, Aunty is sick and dying, and cannot afford to feed him.
An even graver strike against little Naggya-he is a Dalit, from the lowest, most despised caste in India, viewed as less than human and deemed contaminated ... untouchable. A figure of scorn and contempt, the orphan is destined for a life of persecution and servitude.
But Naggya's luck turns when he is spotted by the head of a special Christian school for Dalit children and orphans, Son-Shine. Here, the boy finds a home, food, shelter, mentors, and a special best friend with his own amazing dreams. As his teenage years approach and his extraordinary dance talent is revealed, Naggya draws close to a host family from New York City, financial backers of the Son-Shine school, who recognize his immense gift and help him unlock his amazing destiny-a journey to the pinnacle of the world of professional ballet. Follow as he dances through the twists and turns of adolescence, friendships, betrayal, excruciating physical exertion, faith, and ultimately, a chance to redeem his Dalit brothers and sisters back home.
A testament to God's unfailing love and presence and the strength it lends the human spirit, Untouchable is a story that will carry readers on a journey, touch their hearts, lift their gazes, and help them see that unfathomable dreams are possible ... no matter how great the odds.
