Englishwoman Gladys Aylward always knew that China was the place where she belonged; drawn to it, she worked as a domestic to earn the money to send herself to a poor, remote village. Without skills to go as a missionary, it was the only way she knew how to get where she wanted to be. Once in China, she would live a full and happy life. Running an inn, she advised the local Mandarin leaders and even won the heart of mixed race Captain Lin Nan.
