A Place to Call Home

In the late fall of 1934, twenty-nine-year-old Pearl Strot set sail for China on a Japanese vessel. A recent alumna of Moody Bible Institute鈥檚 program in mission preparation, she was embarking on her new vocation.

A year later, George Kraft, six years her junior, also set sail for China. He was destined to become a world-class linguist and the compiler of a rare textbook in Tibetan.

Vividly evoking a time of tremendous transition in China and an all-embracing world conflagration, this volume rings with the uncompromising determination of a couple鈥檚 faith in Christ and their mutual calling.

It also deals honestly and poignantly with the cost of that uncompromising faith: the hardship brought to children who often felt abandoned, the painful separation of their families 鈥渂ack home,鈥� and the danger to missionaries鈥攆ar from modern medical care鈥攐f ubiquitous health threats.

鈥淭his is both a deeply personal memoir and an important historical and cultural document, capturing the unique experience of life as a child of missionaries. George has given voice to those who were too young to be heard at the time.鈥�
