This memoir portrays the life of Caroline Stulting Sydenstricker, an American mother who journeyed to China in 1880 as the wife of a Presbyterian missionary. Facing adversity in a harsh and isolated environment, she battled to protect her family, enduring the loss of three children while nurturing her surviving daughter, Pearl. With her husband often absent and focused on his mission, Carrie demonstrated remarkable resilience and compassion, ultimately fostering her family's well-being and serving the local community through her informal efforts.
