P. Livingstone is a historical account written in the early 20th century.

The opening of the book introduces readers to the early life of Mary Slessor, detailing her childhood in a modest home in Aberdeen, Scotland, and the hardships her family faced due to her father's alcoholism. Despite these challenges, Mary displayed a nurturing nature and an early inclination towards helping others, especially the children of Africa, who were subjected to cruel customs such as the killing of twins. As she grows older, she takes on the role of breadwinner for her family while nurturing her dreams of becoming a missionary. Her strong resolve culminates in her ultimate decision to travel to Africa, setting the stage for her future adventures and her impactful work in transforming the lives of the native people she comes to love deeply.
