Fred Nelson was born during violent times to missionary parents in China in 1904. He spent most of his life there and in Taiwan, serving not only God, but also the United States Marine Corps. Not long before he died in 1992, he wrote this brief, poignant memoir. His children-editors have added the 25 rare photos and maps, plus italicized explanations.

For many Chinese and Westerners in the twentieth century, the Great Wall was just part of their daily lives. But for others, like Alfred and Meggie Newquist and the mysterious Stone Ten Keepers, the Wall was a powerful dragon-like presence in their lives. Their intriguing stories are told in Dragon Wall, a novel inspired by the author's own family. While a stand-alone, this novel is a sequel to Hungry River, and a prequel to Jade Cross.
