God's Galloping Girl: The Peace River Diaries of Monica Storrs, 1929-1931 - Storrs, Monica

Clean, tight, unmarked; 1cm closed tear to upper back corner of cover near spine; rubbing to dust jacket along folds; otherwise very minimal wear; Monica Storrs was to stay in the north for 20 years. Her mission was the settlers and the frontier. She came to teach Sunday School and the traditions of guiding and scouting to tough, work-hardened country children. The Monica Storrs' diaries are a moving narrative of a woman's indomitable courage, faith, and humour. Her story is a vivid, realistic description of frontier life and the struggle for survival. Her words convey the wild and primitive beauty of the Peace River country - not just a region, but an adventure of the spirit.
