| Description: | Select Guide Rating Marjorie's Journey: On a Mission of Her Own tells the compelling story of Marjorie, a courageous woman who sailed to South Africa with ten children during WWII. Against the frightening backdrop of World War II, a young Scottish woman took ten children by ship through the waters of the Atlantic from Scotland to South Africa, where she set up a home for them called Bairnshaven. An unusual portrayal of motherhood, nuclear family and love, Marjorie''s story comes to life through diary pages, letters, telegrams and photographs. This true story is a fresh take on the role that women played during the war, highlighting the strength and courage shown, and focusing on hope and unconditional kindness. |
