With tenacious scholarship, Joy McAlpine-Black discovers the letters, her poetry, and the female threads of the lives that surrounded Ann Shaw (1788-1854), considered the Mother of Methodism in South Africa. McAlpine-Black weaves a family history into an international narrative.

Ann Shaw (1788-1854), the author's ancestor, was hailed by both immigrant and indigenous South Africans as their spiritual mother, the 'Mother of Methodism in South Africa'. However, all accounts of early South African history have erased her influence, including those written by her husband, Rev. William Shaw, the 'Wesley of Africa'. Had something necessitated Ann's removal from the records?
