The narrative then alternates among the four daughters, with a slight preference for the voice of the most outspoken one, Leah. The four girls increasingly mature; as each adapts differently to African village life and the political turmoil that overtakes the Belgian Congo in the 1960s.
The Price family packs up their belongings and heads to the airport to begin their flight to the Congo where they are going to spend a majority of their lives as the family of a missionary. However, upon reaching the airport bag check, thy are informed that they cannot take all of their belongings. This the first problem of many the Price family will face in the Congo.
Since the Congolese villagers are seen through the eyes of the growing daughters, the view changes. At first, they appear as ridiculous savages. But as the girls mature, the villagers become fully fleshed-out human beings, immersed in a complex and sophisticated culture. Nathan's lack of responsiveness to this culture wears out his family's welcome, but he refuses to leave. Only after a series of misfortunes—culminating in the death of Ruth May—do the women leave Nathan Price to his follyThe Price girls and Nathan attend a church service for the first time in Kilanga and they realize how different their culture is from one another: Leah helps her dad plant a "demonstration garden" and it immediately gets discouragements and criticism for Mama Tataba.

Where I die, you’ll be buried at last (382)” she is explaining that she lost a part of herself when Ruthmay died. Orleanna tried to get over the grief she felt about Ruthmay, but she was unable to.

    In 1959 a Georgia Baptist family led by Nathan Price moves to the Congo.
