One Woman's Pilgrimage

Margaret Budd served as a Methodist Missionary in China from 1947 to 1949 during the Communist takeover and then in India from 1949 to 1971. One Woman's Pilgrimage is her memoir of life as a Missionary. She chronicles the day-to-day experiences of Missionary life in fascinating detail, a life that was changing fast after the second world war and soon to disappear. From the bombing of Ningpo to the perils of a new harmonium, Margaret Budd throws a light on a unique world with courage and absolute faith.
