The story of six intrepid Kentucky nuns, their journey to build a hospital in the poorest state in India, and the Indian nurses whose lives would never be the same.

What The Reviewers Say

Danise Hoover,
Booklist
This is told in a highly personal style—the author is the daughter of one of the nurses trained at the hospital—but above all it is the story of courage and faith seldom talked about and the longevity of a mission that is still in existence. This would be most appropriate for collections with an interest the history of India, the missionary movement, and the Catholic Church..
Rebekah Kati,
Library Journal
A heartfelt account of service and change. Recommended for readers interested in Catholic or Indian history..
