Seven Years in Ceylon: Stories of Mission Life" is a compelling memoir by Mary and Margaret W. Leitch, chronicling their experiences as missionaries in Ceylon (modern-day Sri Lanka) under the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. The book provides firsthand accounts of their challenges and triumphs while spreading Christianity in a land deeply rooted in Hindu traditions. Through vivid storytelling, the authors capture the beauty of the island, the cultural landscape, and the personal struggles of converting and educating local communities. The book serves as both an inspirational mission narrative and a historical document of 19th-century missionary work in South Asia.
