A wonderful epic story of a family who serve as missionaries in the Congo. The story spans several decades after their arrival in the Belgian Congo in 1959.
The story is told in turns by the wife and children of Nathan Price, a tumultuous baptist minister, who is already haunted by the ghosts of his past. Ill prepared both in terms of supplies and mindset, the family faces many obstacles both internal and external, illness, tragedies, and heartache during their time in Africa.
In the end, the Congo changes the family as a whole, as well as each of the individuals.
Well written, this book is holds elements of adventure, personal growth, tragedy, and hope, all woven into a smooth fabric.
