Happiness Under the Indian Trees

You will smile with her when the school principal finds the missing snake, then later feel her embarrassment when she must wear scruffy clothes to an important prayer meeting. No matter the situation, Catherine deals with everything in a way that will make you love her. Although written especially for children, Happiness Under the Indian Trees offers enjoyment to readers of all ages.

The tenth missionary biography by Betty M. Hockett is another reminder of the faithfulness of God and the power of prayer to make ordinary lives of eternal value.
