Orphaned at 11, the daughter of a Scottish Presbyterian minister earns a teaching credential and sails to America in 1905. Guided by her father's faith, a powerful sense of humor, a passion for knowledge, and a will to make the world a better place, she leaves her mark on Utah and southern Idaho. How she raises six children during the hardships and poverty of the Great Depression--all to become professionals and leaders in their fields--will inspire parents today.
Don Ian Smith, author of five books, including his best selling "By the River of No Return," retired after 43 years as a Methodist minister.
