This book tells the story of how a missionary family was able to reach members of several canabilistic tribes hidden deep in the jungle and how Christ's love helped them to overcome centuries of hatred, grief, and bitterness. The story is inspiring and gripping. It's pretty bloody in places, so I wouldn't recommend this for young children. My daughter's eighth grade class read it for their required summer reading assignment. The book changed our view of how other people live and deepened our understanding of the act of forgiveness.
