| Summary: | Her grandfather, a samurai scribe turned Shinto priest, warned her not to get Christianity at the mission school she attended as a young girl in Tokyo. Not only did Itoko fail to heed his advice, she became a minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and went on to a long and distinguished career as a Christian missionary. This book covers three continents and seven decades as it recounts the travels, travails, and triumphs of a fascinating woman of faith. |
