In this deeply personal account of her first year as a missionary, Elisabeth Elliot shares what it was like to work in the jungles of Ecuador with a small group of women, bringing the Word of God to the indigenous tribe that martyred her husband. With fascinating detail, she captures the stark realities of life among these complex people and reflects upon the "strange ashes" that can result when an act of obedience is passed through the fires of God's perfect--yet mysterious--will.

These Strange Ashes is more than a remarkable sharing of a year in the life of a Christian missionary; it is a reflection on the great questions of life and a memorable testimony to the realities of authentic Christian commitment. First published nearly 40 years ago, this classic is sure to inspire a new generation to find and follow God's will--wherever it leads them. Christian Living Christianity

This is Elisabeth Elliot’s own account of her first year as a missionary in Ecuador. She tells us of all the seeming blows to her faith and her conviction of the Lord’s leading. She later concludes them to be His preparation for deeper trials to come.
Clearly narrated by Elisabeth’s granddaughter with occasional and brief recorded quotes by Elisabeth Elliot herself inserted at the beginning of chapters.
(Audible - the listing implies that it is Elisabeth Elliot who is the main narrator, which is what I was expecting, rather than Elisabeth Martin)
