Synopsis "Begin by Loving Again: My Safari from Farm Girl to Missionary Doctor to Wife and Mother (in English)"
With a sharp eye for detail and an abundance of humility, courage, faith, hope, and love, Dorcas Leah Stoltzfus Morrow tells the story of her surprising life, from her birth on a farm in eastern Lancaster County in September 1931, the first of five siblings, to her return to Lancaster County as a resident of Landis Homes Retirement Community. Here you will meet her family of origin, and the family she accepted and nurtured through a marriage begun at midlife. You will see in these pages the world of her childhood and youth, her determination to become a doctor despite obstacles, her adventures as a missionary doctor in East Africa, and her perseverance in living all of her life to the glory of God. "I vividly remember one beautiful fall evening when I had finished unloading the corn from the wagon. Mike and Roy and I had started home. As we passed the farmhouse and the orchard's few remaining apple trees, I looked westward beyond the meadow hill and toward Gap, and saw a gorgeous red-orange sunset unfold before my eyes. It was just awesome! And I can still remember that I asked God to let the end of my life be as beautiful as that sunset. Looking back seventy years later, I can see clouds of disappointment and depression in my life, plus attempts to serve God by my own effort. But I can still see that sunset as an ideal of what God wants to do in me and through me" (p. 54).
