In 1964 Margaret Hayes, a British nurse working in the Congo, was caught up in a bloody rebellion where dozens of her colleagues were brutally massacred. For eight months Margaret was missing, and believed killed. She will protest that it was not her personal faith but the One in whom she placed her faith that brought light into the cruelty of those terrible months. Her capture, and chilling experiences at the hands of the rebels, and her eventual release, are described in this compelling book. Although harrowing, this is a tale of human courage, and a testimony to the God of miracles. About the Author: Margaret Hayes is a retired missionary who now lives in Surrey. She is also author of A reluctant missionary (also published by Day One), which outlines some of her other experiences as a missionary in other parts of Africa.
