Synopses & Reviews
"Impossible". That is no word for her. In 1960, Ruth Pfau went to Karachi, Pakistan to begin working with Lepers. Ever since, her life has been thriving on the love for the people she serves and befriends. Whether getting leprosy under control and being called -- a Western woman -- by the Pakistani government to head the country's Leper control operation in the rank of a government official; or entering Afghanistan illegally -- a single nun on a camel -- to build up a health system in the war-torn deserts and scarce mountain valleys. Whether as executive for the World Health Organization or as a forerunner for a lived dialogue with Islam, Ruth Pfau has been called a woman more courageous than men and military, and she has been named the Angel of Karachi. Before all it is her adventurous and fireless passion for life that makes this story more than a powerful read.
