Plot

Gladys Aylward was a London-born missionary in China from the 1930s to the 1960s. Undeterred by criticism and contrary advice, she set off alone, trusting God to meet all her needs. Ostracized by the Chinese, and later wounded by the Japanese, she led 100 children to safety through the mountains. This is a compelling story of bravery and faith, of Gods strength in human weakness. Her story has become immortalized through the film The Inn of the Sixth Happiness, starring Ingrid Bergman. Retold here, this new biography incorporates original material which digs beneath the surface into some of the controversies that surrounded her life and work.
