This is the moving story of one woman’s discovery of expanding horizons and unlimited challenges. Dorothy N. Nelson, daughter of a Midwest preacher, had dreams of going to far-away islands as a flying missionary. Her dream would come true when, at the age of forty-five, she received her pilot’s license. The next year Paul Harvey announced to the world that Dorothy was flying her own plane to the Philippine Islands. There she flew thirty thousand miles of mercy missions. This is the true story of her amazing adventures for the Lord around the world.

"If anyone is looking for a book that will tell not only an honest story but one so gripping that you may lose some sleep before you gasp for the last page, this is it! Dorothy Nelson has been my forever model of a down-to-earth, gracious Christian for many decades. But within that remarkable life, she has shown everyone how to be a remarkable mother and wife, a gifted musician with instruments and songs of her own creativity, a highly committed nurse with many dire situations, a stunning platform lecturer, a creative health lecturer with fresh props that speak in many languages, and, of course, an airplane pilot and instructor if most any plane flying with perhaps the exception of a jet. This book you hold will reveal how everything written above became useful in this Arctic ordeal--she could never have survived without her lifetime of constant, immediate, unshakeable trusting relationship with her Lord. Trust me, this is the book of the century! Herbert Edgar Douglass, Th.D
