The Second Mother
A work of historical fiction
On the eve of WWI 20-year-old Margaret Peppers was a destitute widow with a 2-year-old daughter to support. Seeking new purpose, she resolved to become a missionary. But when her determination clashed with her sister-in-law's, her life -- and the life of her daughter -- would never be the same.
From the lush mountains of the indigenous Philippines to the desert wasteland of a Japanese American concentration camp, The Second Mother is a story of sorrow and loss, perseverance and faith, healing and hope.
A woman "of deep consecration and willingness to tackle the hardest jobs"

"She understands them better than their own mothers..."
" though I may have failed with what is my own I am thereby able to do perhaps far more for those less fortunate ones"
