Interesting missionary biography
The first half of the book is the terrible ordeal the Glovers had escaping China during the boxer rebellion. The suffering was terrible but their deliverance by God's power was wonderful.
The second half of the book is letters written by the Glovers to their parents and siblings before, during, and after their escape. The only thing I did not like in this section was the grandson's sarcastic remarks inserted in the letters to belittle Mr. Grover and the decisions he made.
