Betty Williams discovered her life’s calling while living in an orphanage—she was born to teach, protect, and encourage children wherever she may be. This became an all-consuming passion that lead her from Maine to the jungles of Brazil and far beyond.

The witchdoctor’s chanting and dancing stopped as we came through the door. He nodded and stepped back. Bob gently picked the child up, washed her face with a damp cloth, and declared that only God had power over death—and that wherever there is life, there is hope. (page 96)

This fascinating autobiography introduces a woman who was born into poverty in Auburn, Maine, and who followed her faith—and her teenage husband—into mission work in Brazil. Though often sorely tested, Betty’s faith remained strong through a fascinating life spent helping children in creative ways. She delivered babies as a missionary in Brazil, taught children in Philadelphia and Alaska, and opened her homes in many places to the foster children, students, and many others who needed her. After divorcing her husband, Betty adopted three children and began a second family— one that welcomed a rotating cast of foster siblings even as she developed a later-life career teaching in Maine’s schools. Blessed with many children and more than eighty years of fond memories, Betty tells her stories with wisdom, compassion...and good humor.
