This book was about a young missionary worker whom after
being jilted by her supposed future husband really wanted to go to China to
serve the Lord but ended up in Indian Territory. When she arrived on her mission field the
other missionaries thought that she wouldn’t make it, judging her by her
properness and higher education. She learned a lot about the Indians and their
culture and learned how misfortunate and how unfairly they are treated. By her
own will she decides to send letters to get help for her Indian friends. Unfortunately
through all her efforts the government decides to move the Indians from their
territory to unknown land. On her
journey she makes friends with the carpenter who she slowly falls in love with
and together they will find out the fate of their Indian friends.
At first I had a
really hard time understanding everything that was going on in the book. Which
would be my only complaint about the book. But towards the end I didn’t want to
put it down. I wanted to know what happens to the Indians and the two main
characters of the book. I really enjoyed the ending and would recommend this
book.
