Summary:
This is the story of a young missionary doctor and her 30-year stint in Persia, or what is now known as Iran. Adelaide Kibbe became a doctor in the 1920s and traveled to Persia. Her story is woven together through her personal letters, diary entries, and mission/hospital reports. It’s through these accounts we see a young lady become a wife, a mother, and a widow – all while working as a doctor in a fairly rough country for women.
The account is written by her daughter, who takes on the voice of her mother throughout the book. I enjoyed reading about Persian life pre-revolutionary Iran. This book is a gem as the view is from a woman’s perspective.
