A remarkable woman’s passion to reach lost souls with the Gospel takes her (and her typewriter) across the eastern US singing with a trio, then to sail under wartime black-out conditions in 1941 to a bush station deep in the forest of colonial Belgian Congo. Her letters home to Hector, her Canadian sweetheart, her mother, sisters and supporters are filled with adventure, love, faith and inspiration. The story coming from the letters is a heartwarming account of a loving wife and mother of six boys triumphing over personal and family illness and tragedy. Five years before her death she wrote, “I want the dew of heaven to be in my letters as well as in my life.”
