Destined for Royalty

William Carey Library Pub

Mother Eliza Davis-George, the daughter of slaves, grew up in segregated Texas, where she took to heart the stories she had heard as a child in Sunday school. Empowered by her faith, she broke through barriers of sex, color, and status as she told the world about Jesus. This is the fascinating story of a gentle but unswerving Christian missionary, who, during her one hundred years on this earth, left an indelible mark on the people and the land of Liberia. She is a model of overcoming any obstacle--a woman for whom no challenge was too difficult in sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In 1886, thirty-one year old Katharine Bushnell gives up her medical practice to work with women living on Chicago's Hell's Half Acre and in the brutal lumber camps of Wisconsin. Her love for God and passion to see women released from bondage lead her to risk her own freedom and reputation for their sakes. Secretly, she visits these women to learn first-hand of the daily trials and torments they endure. Crushed to see women mistreated, Kate prepares a report of her findings concerning the white slave trade in Wisconsin and throughout the Midwest. When Wisconsin's governor demands Kate appear before the legislature to defend her damaging reports, she becomes the center of great controversy. Will they believe her report? Will they pass a law prohibiting sex with a girl under sixteen? Will they punish the notorious den keepers? Or will they brand her a liar?
