To: I'm ALL Right!
I can't remember the name of it now but I bought the book by one of these women at a garage sale years ago. It's an amazing story. She went into the jungle with her toddler daughter and lived with the tribe that killed her husband... for a year I think. I saw the promo for this movie and hoped it was based on that story. Does anyone know the name of that book?

Oh, and it is that story, but told from the perspective of Steve Saint (whose father was Nate Saint, one of the missionaries) and Mincaye, one of the Waodani Indians.

Probably _Through Gates of Splendor_ published in 1957, authored by Elisabeth Elliot, wife of one of the slain missionaries.
