‘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.
Told with wit and pathos, and her trademark honesty… James Cooper
…an inspiring and fascinating memoir, brimming with love, peace and humour, a true story of spiritual growth and transformation. Dr Rosanne Hawke
