This book explores the issues of segregation and poverty, as well as exploring Africa from a missionary's perspective. The story begins with a dismal situation, and the protagonist finds herself passed from her 'Pa' into marriage, treated with disrespect. The story is slightly strange but demonstrates development of character and the effect events can have on someone. It was very interesting and very readable, partly due to the short chapters, which were easy to skip through.
