- Summary:
-
Will they stay the course? Can Truth, Understanding and Compassion save them? Resilient women, from tumultuous pasts are internationally head-hunted by a secret mission for a training program in Thailand. Within an hour after departure, the flight veers off course to a luxurious unknown destination. Patience a social worker, and Ming a school teacher, come to the fore in this compelling tale. Selected as the mission's trainers, for a New World Order, they are cut-off from all outside contact. When the mission's leader is revealed as deceptively gracious and militant, doubts fester, unsettling the recruits. Trust is compromised, and tension escalates until the personal testimony sessions begin. Intimate truths revealed open past wounds that force Patience and Ming to rethink their criticisms of others. From Canberra to The Hague, the initial interest in the missing passengers, dwindles with rising speculations on gender politics at play. Are the passenger's victims of a terrorist organisation under the guise of humanitarian pursuits? A novel with the promise of a New World Order amidst the fear of today.
