"This true life account records the aspirations and adventures of an American missionary, who along with her husband, served in South Africe for twenty-nine years. In these pages, Gladys Stowers opens her heart and invites you to join her on her journey of faith, where there was nothing to hold on to be the promises of God, and the God of promises. She describes how her experiences in childhood shaped her life ambitions."
