Summary
I stood at the rail of the ocean liner clutching a handful of multi-coloured streamers. Excitement warred with the sadness of separation from home and loved ones. Above all, I could never forget the wounded look in my mother's deep blue eyes.' The year is 1954. Aged twenty-eight, Beth is departing for Africa from Adelaide, Australia. Despite a childhood beset by racial discrimination and the financial hardships of the Great Depression, she has qualified as a registered nurse and will now serve as a medical missionary in the remote villages of Sudan. Her vivid, vulnerable and often humorous narrative unfolds post-Africa into a renewed career as a social worker, and the unexpected blessing of midlife marriage. Elizabeth Robertson's story journeys through a lifetime of challenges under the covering of God's grace, moving always Into the Light.
