"The Poisonwood Bible is a story told by the wife and 4 daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them what they believe they will need but soon find all of it -- garden seeds to Scripture -- is calamitously transformed on African soil. What follow is an epic of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over 3 decades in postcolonial Africa."
