This book is subtitled "The story of Lillian Trasher and her 50 years of missionary work with the orphan children of Egypt." Trasher (1887-1961) was an American Christian missionary in Egypt. Born in Florida, she became a member of the Holiness-Pentacostal faith and worked in a Faith orphanage in her teens.
