Florence Fern Austin-Wallace grew up in a non-Christian household.
As a teen, Florence-who preferred to be known as Fern-accepted Christ at a tent revival in the late 1930's.
Her adult life was fraught with difficulty: between giving birth to numerous children, Fern contracted tuberculosis and her illness caused her to frequent Oregon State Tuberculosis Hospital.
Fern's dreams of becoming a missionary to China were shattered and she was forced to be separated from her children for most of their young lives.
Her reliance on Christ became her cornerstone and this collection of poetry survives as her testimony and legacy.
