Interview with the heroine from Journeys of the Heart by Winnie Griggs
1. Anisha Hayes, tell me the most interesting thing about you.
I suppose that would be my heritage. I was born in India, the land of my mother. My father was an American merchant sea captain. When I was ten my mother died and my father brought me to America to live with his sister.
2. What do you do for fun?
I’ve just set off on a trip across the country to see more of this land I’ve lived in for nearly ten years now.
3. What do you put off doing because you dread it?
I can’t really think of anything. I believe in facing the disagreeable things in life and getting past them as quickly as possible.
4. What are you afraid of most in life?
Never finding a place where I am accepted for who I am, a place where I truly belong.
5. What do you want out of life?
To matter deeply to someone
6. What is the most important thing to you?
Being true to who I am.
7. Do you read? If so, what is your favorite type of book to read?
I do like to read and have very eclectic tastes. I guess if I had to pick a favorite type, though, it would be poetry.
8. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
The fact that I seem destined to go through life as a loner.
9. Do you have a pet? If so, what is it and why that pet?
I have a large gray parrot whose name is Sundar, a Hindi name meaning beautiful. Sundar is quite intelligent and can even speak. He has been with me since before I left India and is my best friend.
10. If you could travel back in time, where would you go and why?
I would go back to the day of my mother’s death and try to save her.
