The Exile

Meer over het boek

The memoir delves into the life of Caroline Stulting Sydenstricker, who traveled to China in 1880 as the wife of a Presbyterian missionary. Facing isolation and hardship, she navigated the challenges of raising her children, three of whom died young, while her husband was often absent or emotionally distant. Despite these trials, Carrie demonstrated remarkable resilience and resourcefulness, dedicating herself to her family's well-being and serving the local community in meaningful ways.
