Description: "A personal story of the remarkable partnership of Mildred Cable, Eva and Francesca French which took them from work amongst Chinese women, lasting twenty years, to a fifteen year trek extending over thousands of miles through China's 'pan-handle'---the Kansu Corridor---into the scattered oasis settlements of the Gobi desert of little known Central Asia. The 'Trio' shared the common lot of Tungans, Turkis, Kazaks and Buriats. They lived in wayside inns and peasant homes, moving on to the famous Caves of Tunhwang, everywhere presenting the Christian Gospel to spiritually hungry Tibetans, Mongolian nomads and Chinese immigrants."--Dust jacket flap.
