"Ordinary people, the types of people you meet every day - a cleaner, a cook, a bus driver, a street vendor, a school boy - all have a story to tell. Tales of courage, compassion, hope and self-belief. They live in villages, towns and cities around Bougainville and Papua New Guinea, and their stories explore values that inspire. There are some colourful characters that leap out of the real and spirit world of Papua New Guinea in this short story collection." — Stephanie Wynne, Editor of Tusitala Short Story Competition - Samoa Observer
