<p>Will Wilding recounts the story of his parents and their three&nbsp; young children living in the Belgian Congo between 1914 and&nbsp; 1935. His father, Robert Wilding, left his job as a seaman in the&nbsp; British Royal Navy to begin his work as a missionary while he was&nbsp; still single. He was left alone with a tent in Lubaland, one of the most&nbsp; primitive areas of the region. During a year away, he met and married&nbsp; a young Swiss nurse, Martha Vuadens, and after a brief honeymoon&nbsp; she joined the work in Kabumbulu.&nbsp; This book tracks the lives of Will&#39;s family, as his parents worked&nbsp; with the local Luban tribe, leading building projects, setting up bush&nbsp; hospitals and medical clinics, training local assistants, creating a&nbsp; written language, starting churches, and translating parts of the&nbsp; Bible. They built warm relationships with the surrounding tribes,&nbsp; including the nearby cannibals. The book is illustrated with historic&nbsp; photos of the wildlife and interactions with the local people.</p>
