Leah, who is Adah's twin, enjoys observing the Congolese culture, while Adah studies the variety of plants, animals, and insects around them. Leah, Adah, and Ruth May, on the other hand, begin to appreciate the Congo. Rachel hates everything about it and simply wants to be a normal American teenager. In time, the Price girls begin to adjust to their new life in the Congo.
Nathan is inflexible in his approach to both the Congolese and his family, and Orleanna and her daughters are overwhelmed by their changed circumstances. Soon after their arrival, it becomes clear that they brought the wrong types of supplies and are woefully unprepared to deal with life in such a drastically different culture and climate. When they arrive in the Congo, they are assigned to the village of Kilanga, where the Prices will be the only American family. Nathan travels to Africa intent upon saving souls, but his wife, Orleanna, and four daughters (Rachel, Leah, Adah, and Ruth May) are more concerned with what supplies they should take to live comfortably there for the next year. In 1959, evangelical Baptist preacher Nathan Price takes his family to the Belgian Congo as missionaries.
