Never Cheat a Holy Man is my memoir about the three enlightening, adventure-filled years in the mid-'60s when my family and I lived in East Pakistan. As "memsahib", my job was to supervise female all-male household workforce. When the cook warmed the toast in his armpits and chilled the hen in the refrigerator - still alive, I became aware I had not been communicating effectively. I acquired new skills mediating between cook and laundryman who have been at constant probabilities. The 1965 India-Pakistan discord caused particular concern for my friends and me when we were placed at firearm point, accused of being spies by Bengali soldiers. The Hindu Holy Man's retracted blessings and getting my sari drawn off by a little youngster at a town reasonable, were just two situations that offered me new understanding of this culture so unlike my very own. Despite the poverty and disease I saw, there is much beauty, harmony, and humor to appreciate. - Joyce Mueller About the writer: Joyce Mueller, now in her 90s, remembers how it believed to be always a Caucasian, English-speaking, non-Muslim nurse, better half, and mother confronting a completely opposite culture. She went from frightened and stunned to empathetic and appreciative. Now widowed, Mrs. Mueller lives on the southern Oregon coastline. She actually is still writing poetry and short stories.
