A shift of tone is perceptible after the conversion to Christianity that Bilquis Sheikh undergoes in her autobiographical account entitled I Dated to Call Him Father. The story begins when the forty-six year old Pakistani woman feels an undeniable though unknown presence in her garden. Bilquis is a Muslim woman in the ruling class in Pakistan. In her large palatial estate, she makes references to her many servants—one such reference mentions fourteen servants. Raised in Pakistan where class if part of life, she is an imperious figure who is harsh and impatient with her servants and those of the lower class. However, after she begins to grow closer to Jesus Christ, her attitude toward her servants and others who are less fortunate or poor takes an obvious and positive change.
