A reprint of poems by Darlene Bee, who worked on translating the New Testament for the Usarufa people of Papua New Guinea, before she died in a plane crash. 
On the path God took us, we constantly ran into situations that were far beyond us, and we kept asking, "What do we do now?" We learnt first-hand that we couldn't cope without him. While taking us through the problems, he brought numbers of great people across our path. Their friendship and their skills helped mightily to make up for what we lacked." Author Phyllis Healey, who, with her husband Alan, went to the Philippines and later to Papua New Guinea as translators.
This is the record of how six months became 21 years. In 1967 Veda Rigden retired from her job as an art teacher in New Zealand.
