Synopsis
What happens when Umesh "Mike" Jain, a young company comptroller, takes his boss' wife to help him search for a suitable marriage partner in India? The heart-warming, sometimes humorous account, has some unexpected revelations. "Finding a Bride and Other Adventures of a Jewish Mother in India," based on Ellen Goldberg's 1982 journal, is the unique story of her first trip out of the United States. India was quite different in those days before prosperity and private cars were commonplace. Being a red-headed, middle class married Jewish woman who looked younger than her 41 years, she was followed through the streets by curiosity-seekers where she was only the second white woman to ever visit his small Punjabi town. After joining the family in the search and selecting a young woman in Chandigarh for Umesh to marry, Ellen traveled throughout the Northern part of India for eight days with Prem Garg, a handsome young man who was like a member of the Jain family. Neither of them knew what the rules were, so eyebrows were raised-including her own-when they shared rooms throughout the eight-day trip. Returning for the wedding festivities was the highlight of the memorable trip that ignited Ellen's lifelong love for India.
