The Poisonwood Bible describes the life of Nathan and Orleanna Price and their daughters Rachel, Leah, Adah, and Ruth May; missionaries in the African Congo. It's a wonderful book that lets you see through the eyes of the five women in the family. The storyline will leave you amazed at the hardships they faced and how they overcame them. Overall it's a wondeful book, but don't read it unless you're willing to finish it.
