Mighty Mary: The Story of Mary Slessor
Summary
This is the story of a Scottish girl, Mary Slessor, which took place in the late 1800's in West Africa. Mary wanted to be like the famous explorer and missionary, Dr. David Livingstone. Among other hardships, she settled tribal wars by sheer daring, and single-handedly defied tribal customs of killing twin babies and slaughtering women and children. Mary was sometimes misunderstood, sometimes hated and ignored--but in the end, she was "Ma," the loved.
