Daksha the Medicine Girl

Daksha is a young girl living in a hamlet in the Himalayas. She has lost her family in a landslide and flash floods. But the people in the hamlet look out for one another and she is not alone. She starts helping the vaidya (the doctor practicing native medicine) and learns the uses of medicinal herbs and roots.
During the harsh winters, many residents leave the hamlet for the plains.
Daksha stays back and her skills are put to use in the most unexpected way. This brings about a change in Daksha's life.
The problem is, Daksha doesn't want her life to change. She is happy living in the mountains, among the deodar trees, gathering and distilling herbs.

Excerpt:
Sarsati told Hamid about Daksha. Even during the summer months, where she went with the other children to put the animals to graze, she never had much to say. While the children played something or the other, she was apt to drift away to some secluded part and watch the animals frolicking around. She was especially fond of studying the lambs. Very often she'd hold a lamb in her lap and hand feed it. While it nibbled at the grass, she'd trace its bones with her hand. She was always curious to know the bone structure of animals. The way the lambs moved, the play of muscle and bone fascinated her. She moved her own slim hands and arms and tried to imagine the way the bones meshed.
