Silent Road to Rescue is a historical fiction book based on an actual rescue made by missionary Eric Liddell and an unnamed Chinese carter in 1939. Kwei Er and his family have fled their burning village and have gone to live with Uncle Ma Chuang Fu and his wife in this Christian fiction story. But even in the remote town of Nan Kung, the fingers of war can touch them. Kwei Er begins helping his uncle and Eric Liddell as they transport wounded Chinese from the surrounding villages to the mission hospital in Siaochang. The work is dangerous, and every time Kwei Er leads his mule out of town onto the empty road, he wonders if he will live to come home. This is the story of a boy and his search for the source of true courage.
