In her book, Ruth Shakeshaft paints a vivid picture in words of the joys and hardships of missionary life in Uganda in the 1950s and 60s.
This picture includes a meticulous account of her work in the field of leprosy diagnosis, control and treatment in the most primitive conditions possible. This led to the co-operation, in all aspects of leprosy care, between a variety of missionary and government agencies.
