One Short Life is the story of Jewel, who went to a remote area of Africa at age 7 months with her missionary parents in 1954. They began to learn the Yalunka language and culture while adapting to life under a grass roof. It was a time that later helped birth Jewel's own call to the mission field - a call, however, like that of her parents' missionary service, was tragically cut short. But it is most of all a story of how faith in the providence of a loving God, hope for an eternity with loved ones, and love for God and others can overcome disappointment, loss and grief.
