Summary

 Amy Carmichael, one of the most celebrated Protestant Christian missionaries, dedicated over fifty-five years to evangelistic and philanthropic work in India. Yet, her journey began with a brief fifteen-month stint in Japan, where she faced illness before returning to Ireland and ultimately focusing on her mission in Asia. This captivating collection of letters captures her experiences in Japan, offering a unique perspective on the rapidly evolving landscape of fin de siècle Japan and the struggles of its small, often overlooked Christian community. Even amidst the racial and religious biases of her time, Carmichaels heartfelt reflections reveal insights that she likely never anticipated. Summary by Expatriate.
