From the back of the book:
The Keiths were looking at Millie in varying degrees of dismay. "It has been something of a surprise to me, Pappa," Millie admitted. "Though not completely so. I have felt for almost a year that I am called into the foreign missions field." Stuart shook his head. "We have let Millie go twice now, once to Roselands and once to New Orleans, and I think that is quite enough." Marcia stood and put her hand on her husband's shoulder. "We must let her go again, Stuart," she said. "I see the fingerprints of God all over this. We must let her go, and trusts God."
God has planted dreams in Millie Keith's heart...dreams of marriage, of adventure, and of serving God with her body, soul and spirit. Now Millie's life is about to change forever. Not only is she marrying Doctor Charles Landreth, but God has called the young couple to places Millie never could of imagined going. Will she have the faith to give up her own plans and dreams...and live in a place fraught with danger? What perils await them?
