Gladys Aylward by Janet Benge
The Adventure of a Lifetime
This biography follows a determined British parlor maid who, driven by faith, overcomes rejection and peril to journey to China, where she opens an inn, serves her adopted community, and helps enforce the end of footbinding. As war erupts, she confronts danger with remarkable courage, ultimately leading more than one hundred orphans across treacherous mountains to safety. Along the way, her resilience, compassion, and cultural understanding transform both her life and the lives of those she serves.
