This is the second time I’ve read this book. It will probably become a regular in my reading along with Elisabeth Elliot’s “A Chance to Die”.
Phoebe Rowe’s character and story are challenging in the most beautiful ways. I want to have that beauty of humility and passion. Her heart for the lost of India is deeply stirring.
Much of the book is letters from her to her dear friend, Isabella Thoburn. In some ways it is a hard read, as Ms. Thoburn writes as if Phoebe is already known by the readers. However, the language is easy to understand.
It is unfortunate that one cannot find more information about Phoebe very readily, but perhaps that speaks to her humility and focus on the work before her.
