"They don't go beyond the ceiling you know," she once said to her father who was desperately praying for his young daughter. Isobel even considered suicide once but the thought of her parents' heartache stopped her. Discover what brought this questioning, antagonistic teenager from doubts to faith in Christ. Find out how she affected the lives of countless people on the mission field of China and Thailand. This stirring and challenging story of faith is a role model to young people everywhere.
