Amy Carmichael narrated this story. This story is a first-person narration. Amy is a reliable source of information because, she is telling the story of her own life. This book takes place in Ireland, China and India [mainly India]. This book takes place in the late 1800s to the early and middle 1900s. The setting influenced the plot of the book because of the different cultures and traditions of China and India oppose to Ireland. The theme of this book is to spread God’s word to everyone and everywhere. The message is that you should do anything your heart and God tells you to do. This book is a historical-fiction but it is also a biography.
This book is about a girl named Amy Carmichael, whom was born and raised in Ireland. She was raised as a Christian and grew up to be a Christian missionary to China, Japan and even India. She traveled to China and Japan, first and stayed for a couple years and then she felt as if God was calling her to India and then she traveled by boat to India. In India she had to learn their language and respect their way of life. She even got to wear a sari [a traditional Indian dress]. Later she preaches God’s word on the streets and then opens up and orphanage or group [as they were called] Starry Cluster. The Starry Cluster helped runaways or orphans to survive. They sheltered them, prayed for them and even kept them from starving. What will happen to the Starry Cluster and Amy and the orphans and runaways? Read it to find out!
I really enjoyed this book because this book is Amy’s own account of her own life and just it is a fascinating story. I would read more by this author and would encourage you to as well. I would give it a 10 out of 10 stars.
