by Fauntie Wilcoxon (Author), Sandra K. Wilcoxon (Author)
"I want to be a missionary," fifteen-year-old Fauntie proclaimed to the congregation in her small Minnesota town. In 1961, after years of preparation and training, she traveled to Argentina with her husband and three small children to fulfill that dream. Things didn't go precisely as planned. Summertime: Memoir of a Missionary Wife tells a captivating tale of the challenges that arise when attempting to realize one's dreams-and the seeds that are sown when meeting those challenges with creativity and faith.
"What compels someone to follow her faith-halfway around the world-with the desire to share it with others? How does a person know if her work is making an impact? What is learned and what is lost in moving far from home in service of an ideal? Summertime investigates these and other thought-provoking questions as it tells the true story of Fauntie, a young woman in the 1960s who embarks on the journey of a lifetime." -A. D. Nauman, author of Down the Steep
