Sophia's beau humiliated her when he very publicly and surprisingly became engaged to her roommate. It seemed providential that she heard a missionary speak on the need for workers in China right after this devastating turn of events. So, without much thought or prayer, Sophia jumps in and lands herself in... Dakota territory working with the Ponca Indians. The primitive conditions are a shock for this weathered world traveler. Sophia was the daughter of an ambassador where she lived and travelled in many countries and social circles. Little did Sophia realize that God would be using her political skills to minister to the Poncas that she comes to love.
This novel was a surprise to me. I was out of reading material and thought I'd give it a chance. I'm so glad I did. Sophia's character has depth; her past experiences and therefore altered perceptions of the Poncas was fascinating. That God was able to use her despite the fact that she signed up for missions for the wrong reason was thought provoking. The other characters in the book also had depth to them. From the sanctimonious preacher to the very attractive and compassionate Willoughby Dunn, I just couldn't wait to see what they would do next.
This is a five star book! You will not be disappointed.
