Barbara Ferguson went to Vietnam in 1967 as a young, naïve and idealistic World Vision volunteer. She remained there, working with orphaned and refugee children, until the end of the war in 1975. Her primary task was to provide training for teachers and childcare workers in the orphanages, but she soon became an unofficial but highly efficient social worker, spending more time with the children themselves than with their teachers and carers.

'Rain In My Heart' consists of a series of deeply touching, sometimes amusing and often tragic stories about her work with these war orphans and refugees. Each story has at its heart a close and unforgettable encounter with a special child or group of children. Their forbearance in extreme hardship filled Barbara with awe and deep respect.

Around the world today, the obscenity we call war is destroying lives just as it did forty years ago in Vietnam. The stories of children who are living and dying in wars in East Timor, the Sudan, Afghanistan, Iraq and other troubled nations have yet to be written. In these deeply-felt personal memories, Barbara Ferguson pays tribute not only to the Vietnamese children she knew and worked with, but to all children of war.
