The book chronicles the extraordinary life of Mary Slessor, a pioneering missionary who dedicated her life to improving the conditions of the people in Calabar, a region in present-day Nigeria. It details her challenging journey from her humble Scottish beginnings to becoming a key figure in missionary work in West Africa, focusing on her compassion, courage, and determination in overcoming the adversities she faced. The opening of the book introduces readers to Mary Slessor's background, starting from her birth in a working-class family in Scotland to her early aspirations of becoming a missionary. It highlights the hardships she endured, including her father's alcoholism and the responsibility she took on to support her family from a young age. Through various anecdotes, Livingstone paints a vivid picture of Mary’s early life, her developing faith, and her strong character that would later guide her mission work in Africa.
