Step into the shoes of three authors who combine their thoughts to put a face, a feeling, and a person to contemporary missions.

Follow Emily, oldest daughter, in the struggles and joys of being a missionary kid.This story is not a triumphant tale of missionary heroes. The real heroes show up in unlikely places when they are least expected. Our steps are ordinary, but the journey is beyond extraordinary.
