"Mumma, Can You Hear Me?" is the warm-hearted autobiography of a woman whose life as a teacher, missionary, and mother, makes for one good story after another. Betty was born into poverty in rural Maine, and spent much of her life in places far removed from luxury--like the years spent in an orphanage while her mother worked diligently to create a home to which Betty and her sisters might return; the series of huts in dirt-path Brazilian villages where she began a family of her own; the RV she called home as she travelled the United States, first to care for an ailing daughter and then to see North America on her own terms. Betty is a born storyteller, and her craft--honed for years through telling her stories to friends, students, and family members, often so they could laugh and then learn a vital lesson--shines through in this debut literary effort. Her humble roots put the ordinary in her extraordinary life, while her way of embracing the world and loving its many people warms the pages of her story. A woman of great faith, and tremendous courage, her stories show the best in many people even under adverse circumstances. Betty delivered babies in the jungle; taught at-risk students with no backup; fought for one daughter's survival, and late in life, welcomed a second household of children into her care. The details are particular to Betty's life, but her stories of trial and success, error and humility, courage and compassion, are the stories that make up life.
