Sunshine and Shadow on the Tibetan Border is a book written by Flora Beal Shelton. The book is a memoir of Shelton’s life in the early 20th century, when she lived in the remote region of western China, near the Tibetan border. Shelton was a missionary, and her book provides a unique perspective on life in this part of China during a time of great change.The book is divided into two parts: ''Sunshine'' and ''Shadow.'' The first part of the book describes Shelton’s early years in China, when she was working as a teacher and nurse in a small village. She writes about the beauty of the landscape, the kindness of the people, and the joys and challenges of her work.The second part of the book focuses on the ''Shadow'' years, when Shelton and her family were forced to flee their home due to political unrest. She writes about the dangers they faced on their journey, the hardships they endured in their new home, and the ways in which they continued to serve the people of the region despite the difficulties they faced.Throughout the book, Shelton provides a vivid and detailed account of life in this remote region of China. She writes about the customs and traditions of the people, the challenges of living in a harsh environment, and the ways in which she and her family worked to make a difference in the lives of those around them.Overall, Sunshine and Shadow on the Tibetan Border is a compelling and insightful memoir that provides a unique perspective on life in western China during a time of great change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
