The story of Jean Little's mother.

Not a fan of the whole religious part but it was a good story.

Flora Gauld is a missionary's daughter living in Taiwan, when her family decides to go home to Canada for a time, ultimately leaving her and her siblings behind with her aunt and uncle to attend school.

Her two eldest brothers served in WWI.Flora, Jean's Mother, is the fourth child of a minister in Taiwan.
