She was an amazing woman. And very, very brave. I love that her care for the indigenous people was recognised - by them. And by others.<br />How wonderful that she, and your mother both feature in Reflections, a book I will have to track down.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
