Publisher's Synopsis
"Await the openings of Providence," said the mission secretary. In 1860 the mission society was not sending single women to foreign mission stations, so Anna understood what he meant. Either she had to wait until the mission society chenged its policy or marry a man who was going to a mission field. She didn't want to do like one of her friends and marry an old missionary who had already buried several wives, but would the policy ever change? At that time, Anna could not imagine the adventurous life she was going to live, both as a married and single missionary. She had no idea of the two great countries she would come to love like her own, and the ways God would use her.
Anna Kay Scott had a calling. She heard that calling loudly throughout her life. She knew victory and discouragement; she knew sorrow and joy. She had friends among the rich and the poor, among the educated and the ignorant. She loved, argued and forgave, helped and asked for help. Maybe bits of her life will speak to those of you who have felt the same kinds of emotion, even if her experiences were very different.
