About This Book

A biographical narrative traces a woman's journey from humble home and factory labor to missionary service overseas, recounting her adaptation to a new climate and culture, the shock of local practices such as slaveholding and the ritual killing of twins, and her sustained efforts to protect children and challenge harmful customs. It describes solitary river expeditions, residence among hostile communities, construction of homes and a church, mediation of tribal conflicts, adoption and care of rescued children, visits home and return to the field, and encounters with slave-hunters. Themes include personal faith, courage in danger, cross-cultural engagement, and persistent social reform.
