Into the Light: A Memoir

Elizabeth Robertson

0/5 ( ratings)

'I stood at the rail of the ocean liner clutching a handful of multi-coloured streamers. Excitement warred with the sadness of separation from home and loved ones. Above all, I could never forget the wounded look in my mother's deep blue eyes.'
The year is 1954. Aged twenty-eight, Beth is departing for Africa from Adelaide, Australia. Despite a childhood beset by racial discrimination and the financial hardships of the Great Depression, she has qualified as a registered nurse and will now serve as a medical missionary in the remote villages of Sudan.
Her vivid, vulnerable and often humorous narrative unfolds post-Africa into a renewed career as a social worker, and the unexpected blessing of midlife marriage.
Elizabeth Robertson's story journeys through a lifetime of challenges under the covering of God's grace, moving always Into the Light .
Told with wit and pathos, and her trademark honesty ... James Cooper ... an inspiring and fascinating memoir, brimming with love, peace and humour, a true story of spiritual growth and transformation . Dr Rosanne Hawke
