Opis

Anna a "mill" village girl of northern Georgia hears the call of the "Holy Spirit" during the summer following her graduation from high school. Needless to say, this was almost unthinkable in the late 1930's; imagine, a young woman wanting to go into the missionary field by herself. First there is the problem of getting into a school which would train a young lady for this mission and then there are problems with a "certain" young man she met on the train as she journeyed to school. She finds too late "sex" and "love" are very separate objects to the male mind and pain replaces joy when you follow your heart instead of your head. Forced into a wedding she didn't really want, her honeymoon interrupted by WW11, and stranded on a deserted island after being shipwrecked during a violent storm are just some of the trails facing Anna. The story comes to a starling conclusion as Anna finds herself captured by a squad of German sailors who want to know the whereabouts of a secret microfilm placed in her care without her knowledge. Facing torture and the lusts of sailors who have been at sea "too" long are only part of the ordeals surfacing in this hot steamy island as another tropical storm threatens to destroy everything in it's path as God in his fury decides to put an end to this evil environment. Help comes in the form of cannibals as they overrun the island; but are they there to save Anna or is she to be part of their "dinner"? Only God in his wisdom can control these events and to place Anna where she is needed and where he wants her to do his work.
