Thongzai Mamma

Over one hundred years have passed since the death of this veteran woman missionary to the country of Burma; but once again, the story of her life-Thongzai Mamma-can encourage a new generation to continue the work so valiantly accomplished by Marilla Baker Ingalls (1828-1902) and the missionaries of her day. Her life is chronicled in her own words-verifying events, sharing anecdotes, and speaking directly to her friends. Following the chronology of her service transports the readers to the Burma of Mrs. Ingalls and forms friendships with her and with those who served with her throughout her fifty years of mission service. These are the heroes worthy of emulation.
