Summary: A fascinating look at missionary life in China during the early part of the 20th century. Plenty of Chinese culture, extreme weather, politics (even war!), primitive travel methods, relationships, and beautiful mental landscapes! Studded with footnotes provided by her oldest son, who fills in a lot of details, and adds more current information. Unfortunately, I didn’t really “like” the author; she seemed to come across somewhat like the Ugly American. Still, a very interesting story!
