Publisher's Synopsis
Fred Nelson was born during violent times to missionary parents in China in 1904. He spent most of his life there and in Taiwan, serving not only God, but also the United States Marine Corps. Not long before he died in 1992, he wrote this brief, poignant memoir. His children-editors have added the 25 rare photos and maps, plus italicized explanations. Fred's daughter narrates more of the Nelson family's adventures, both harrowing and wonderful, in her China and Taiwan novels: Hungry River (2011), Dragon Wall (2012), and Jade Cross (2015).
