some of the experiences and lessons I
learned while living and working in Sotik,
Kenya in East Africa.
I was a young woman trying my best to fit
into a culture that was not my own. There
were awkward and sometimes painful events
that occurred as I was being transformed
into the person God was making me into.
Whatever the encounter, I was blessed
(whether I realized it at the time or not).
Put yourself in the stories, think of how
you would have reacted in the same
situations. Hopefully, you will take away
a better understanding of yourself and
God's sovereignty, like I was able to do.

Here are a couple of reviews:
««««« “What a page turner! It was hard to put it down. The author candidly tells
her story in such a way that you feel like you are there! I am looking forward to reading
more from this talented author and hope she continues telling her story!” turklebird (VA)
««««« “It was easy to read and got me hooked from page one. Couldn't stop reading it
until the end and then I wanted to read it again! It has great pictures with captions, and
everything about it is inviting: the narrative, the format, the tone. The questions at the
end of the book for each chapter got me thinking and gave it a dimension I had never
experienced before in a book. More than a good read, it felt like a trip to Africa with a real
family of missionaries. The honesty of the author made me feel close to her, and each story
told made me feel like it had happened to me. I don't know if I could be THAT honest about
my private life, but I was thankful Laurie Wall Bates did, because she gave me a big lesson
in humility and making the best of every situation. I really look forward to her next book!!!”

I hope you enjoy it too!!!
