The Mission Walker

History & Biography

“The Mission Walker is a marvelous book. Edie Littlefield Sundby writes of her battle against cancer with simple grace and enormous dignity. The journey she takes us on—her mission walk—is often arduous and at times harrowing, yet there’s a spirit of uplift in even the most difficult passages. Sundby turns her mantra of ‘To move is to be alive’ into a moving meditation on the relationships between courage and faith, endurance and transcendence. I wish the author a long life, but even if she lives to a ripe old age, I think she’s created a work that will be here after she is gone.”
