Sobre IBD

Told in the flowery language of the late nineteenth century, these true accounts read like fiction adventure tales. But these women were very real indeed, from the Mayflower mothers to the missionaries. To describe their lives as "hair-raising" and "thrilling" is no exaggeration. Hundreds of brief biographies are chronicled.
