This memoir describes her struggles in surviving abuse cancer depression and fire. Her commitment to missions which started at age thirteen grew when she won a nursing scholarship and cared for her dying mother. The doubt and uncertainty that she could be used by God was dispelled as He took her on a journey only He could design ending in joy.</p><p></p><p>She never imagined she would be driving up creek beds in a Jeep crossing over swinging bridges or examining a pregnant woman with a snake hanging over her head. Delivering babies in shacks with newspapers on the walls and depending on God in life-threatening circumstances developed an inner joy despite these difficulties. God's faithfulness and grace provided the strength to survive the trauma she experienced and led her to become a spiritual midwife.</p>
