About the book
The incredible story of a woman who chose the road less travelled to work for the Royal Flying Doctor Service in outback eighties Australia, and what the experience taught her about life, death and human connection.
How against the odds of the time and her upbringing in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, her mother a teacher, her father a priest, she was accepted to do medicine and return to the remote places that shaped her and where, in the quiet moments of gaining a patient’s trust she was inspired to become a better doctor.
A raw, unguarded insight into medical life that exposes the light and dark sides of providing life-saving care, the complexities of practising in a time of unprecedented social change and the conflicts of being working parent.
