Despite the many hardships they encountered, including the loss of their daughter to whooping cough, the tragic death of a friend by a wild animal, and severe injuries sustained in an auto accident, Aimé and Madeleine Cosendai, Swiss missionaries to Africa, still count their years of mission service among the Cameroonians a privilege rather than a sacrifice. This is a love story--not only the story of how a missionary couple comes to love and "adopt" the African people they came to serve, but a story of how the African people come to love and adopt the missionaries as their own,--as people they knew really loved them. And as you read, you'll come to love them all.
