She was the third child in a family of six children. Their daily life included time for fun and games as well as work in the large vegetable garden which sustained the family during the Depression years. She enjoyed studying geography, and especially when the lessons included maps of faraway places, copying them with pencil and paper in minute detail. At that time she never dreamed she would one day actually see the Andes Mountains, learn other languages and cultures, live many years in South America, or later travel to Europe and Australia. She wrote this book while in her 80s and lives in a retirement center in Nashville, Tennessee. Sarah met and married Ron Denton in college. Soon thereafter they traveled to South America as missionaries.view less
