'In the brooding jungle of equatorial New Ireland, Ali and Dave are searching for excitement. Could God have something bigger in mind? Teaching at Barrington Place (a fictitious school based on the real Madina Girls High School) set in the steamy, brooding jungle of New Ireland, P.N.G., Ali and Dave and the other single teachers enjoy evenings around the flickering hurricane lantern, sharing everything from jokes to secrets. Ali and Tessa vie for the affection of loveable larrikin Dave, who keeps them all entertained. Ali longs for a challenge but Dave is even more restless and decides to do a dangerous trek. Ali's friend Craig agrees to accompany him. They do not return. What has become of them? In her desperation, Ali remembers the God her mother believes in and the bible tucked away in her suitcase. Her life is to change even more than she dreamt.' (Publication summary)
