Combining rigorous research, compelling first-hand accounts, and recorded conversations with Amal herself, Marion Osgood has drawn together the threads of a remarkable life.
Amal Boody turned her back on conventionality, choosing instead to live and work in a remote desert region. At first she practised her midwifery in a tent. In the beginning, as a lone Christian, she suffered abuse. In time she came to be valued and honoured as a pillar of the local community, respected by Sheikhs, and family friend to a whole generation of village women.

Marion Osgood does the Christian world a service by sharing the eye-opening story of Syrian midwife Amal Boody, who earned the distinction of being the first Middle Easterner to go as a full-time Christian worker to the Gulf region.
