Relevant for many missionary kids

This personal story of a wounded missionary kid is a story so familiar for many missionary kids. Mr. Peters did well in balancing the "taboo" of revealing MK (missionary kid) struggles and respecting his father's faith and committment to missions. If you're a missionary kid I encourage you to read this powerful book, and even more importantly, if you are a parent of a child raised on the mission field.

I was fortunate enough to have Dr. Peters for a class in college. I, too, had been to Siagon in the years he was there. I, however, was older and had gone because of service to our country. I found this a very compelling read as well as some what tragic. Even though Dr. Peters wrote fondly of his father, I found it tragic that this man would put his wife and child in such harms way. I asked Dr. Peters if his father ever understood how profoundly that experience effected him. He quietly answered, never. I also discovered that he had passed away before Dr. Peters could tell him how it changed his life. At fourteen he was to experience the same shock that many in the military did, only with no one noticing. This is an excellent read and may explain better than any other book I have read how many of us returned from that war emotionally shattered.
