Summary

Mother Eliza Davis-George, the daughter of slaves, grew up in segregated Texas, where she took to heart the stories she had heard as a child in Sunday school. Empowered by her faith, she broke through barriers of sex, color, and status as she told the world about Jesus. This is the fascinating story of a gentle but unswerving Christian missionary, who, during her one hundred years on this earth, left an indelible mark on the people and the land of Liberia. She is a model of overcoming any obstacle--a woman for whom no challenge was too difficult in sharing he gospel of Jesus Christ.
