I'm writing a paper, and I can't think of the name of the indian girl who has a miscarriage at Harvard and was going to marry Joel. Please help,...

You are thinking of Anne. She is the young woman who had
the miscarriage that Bethia Mayfield helped deliver. The controversy over that baby is
how far along the pregnancy was. Bethia is very confident that Anne was further along in
the pregnancy than the midwife, Goody Branch, says she was. If Bethia is right, then she
was pregnant before she arrived at Cambridge and the scandal of her pregnancy has no
touch on the young men at the school, but Branch claims the fetus is smaller, and that
puts the affair to have taken place at Cambridge where she could be subject to public
humiliation and punishment by whipping. Anne refuses to the end to admits who the father
of the baby was, and is ultimately saved by Bethia who arranges to send her off to the
Island.
