Margaret leaves her family, her church, and all familiar to her, to become a missionary. But what is involved? Where is the job description? What are you supposed to do? She discovers that her plan is not always God's plan for her, and that some things are not exactly what they seem to be.
Elisabeth Elliot is certainly qualified to write this book, having been a missionary herself. She knows about the people she is writing about, and knows well the feelings and experiences a new missionary must face.
