Near the end of the summer, between my first and second year of college, an insect bite on my shinbone became seriously infected.

Since childhood I had attended Christian Science Sunday School. There I had learned to trust in God's healing power, as demonstrated by Christ Jesus and explained scientifically in Christian Science. I loved everything I had learned thus far, so it was very natural for me to seek help from the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy.

In view of my need for healing, I wanted time alone in which to read Science and Health from beginning to end before returning to my busy college schedule. For this reason I was grateful to accept an invitation from my mother and her sister-in-law, both Christian Scientists, to go with them to a house in the mountains for two weeks, where I would be alone most of the time.
