Evie Porter has everything a nice, Southern girl could want: a perfect, doting boyfriend, a house with a white picket fence and a garden, a fancy group of friends. The interesting thing about Jackie Pullinger-renegade missionary who went alone, unsponsored, with no money, and not speaking the language, to the infamous “Walled City” in Hong Kong in the 1970s, is that SHE IS STILL THERE.
