A Personal Reflection on Bringing up a Family in Remote Africa in the early 1900s

Full disclosure - this book was written by my great grandmother. It describes her life as a missionary in Maasailand in remote Kenya in the early 1900s. She translated the first Masai bible. The book describes how one of her children was lost to dysentry and goes into Maasai culture and customs. Lots of stories about how they made do with very little.
