AUDREY FEATHERSTONE, I PRESUME?
Amazing story of a Congo missionary

Wow! I read this amazing story, almost in one sitting, and could not put it down. The biography of Audrey will fascinate and challenge everyone — from her childhood, and how she came to know the Lord as her Saviour; her call to the mission field; how she adapted to life in the African rain-forest; her passionate love for the Africans among whom she lived for 25 years; her amazing stickability, when everything seemed loaded against her and her husband; right through to the heart-tearing decision to leave Africa and the time of caring for her dying partner; and to her grief in widowhood.
The story is told simply, realistically, yet with an extraordinary sympathy in each differing situation. The addition of surrounding historical facts make the whole book more intelligible for many readers; but these parts can easily be skipped for others who only want the actual story of the Featherstones.
