George keenleyside, served the people of the West Coast for the United Church of Canada. She tells of the experiences of the early missionary wives, teachers, nurses and other dedicated women who devoted their lives to the people living in isolation on lighthouses, in logging camps, and frontier and Native villages. The author, through her gift for story telling, as brought to history to life for us with the stories of these pioneer women, who through their Christian love and tolerance made lives richer for the people in this rugged coastal region of Canada."--
