Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main character of this autobiography is Alma Jackson. She was a Southern Baptist missionary, nurse, and educator to Brazil. As she tells of her journeys, her desire was for others to find the same purpose in life that she did. A reoccurring theme is overcoming timidity, so as to do something spectacular and encourage others to have fun as well as have a purpose. Her methods of achieving this were learned and role-modeled by her large family and the influential friends that she made. This world could use explorers and teachers who dare to dream big and forget to count the costs. Heroes are made of this. Young people are searching for action and romance. They will find it in this book.
