Mary Slessor (1848-1915) was a single Scottish woman who became a missionary to Nigeria when she was in her late twenties. It was encouraging to me that she was single, older, and without any particular "talents." (She worked in a mill before her time in Africa.)

The writing itself was just okay, but I enjoy virtually all missionary stories.

I wish there had been more of an epilogue, describing what happened after her death in the regions where she had worked. I would also have liked to hear more about her children. (I don't know how much source material actually exists for those topics, though.)… (more)

Olympic hero, WWII bombardier, plane crash survivor and the amazing power to forgive.

Her Life (1902 - 1970) is one of the truly great missionary stories of our era. Easy to read.
