Kate drove her hire car at snail’s pace down the dusty track, bumping over the crunchy coral bones that ridged on the surface of the narrow road, and she turned up a lane that was marked with the sign ‘Bougain Villa’. With every metre she covered her heart seemed to pump faster and faster. She had searched for so long that she had almost despaired that she would ever find what she was seeking. But now after months of research and a trip half way around the world to Kilifi in Kenya, East Africa, she was sure that she was on the threshold of finding the person that she had sought for so long.

However, due to circumstances beyond her control, she suddenly finds herself engulfed in a relationship that has all the warning indicators of what she has been so careful to avoid in the past.

It is a terrifying experience to wake up and find that you are blind, deaf and cannot move. But for Mike, the worst is yet to come. As he lies completely immobile in his bed, the only thing that he can do is try and remember how he came to be in this state. However, the memories of his past only come back to him randomly in bits and pieces that he must try and put together to get a whole picture of his life. Frighteningly, much of what he remembers is almost too distressing to contemplate. Did he really do the things that now float into his mind? What could have driven him to act in such a despicable manner? He remembers that he had been a Christian in his early life, but something terrible must have happened to so dramatically change his way of thinking. What could it be? And is there any way back from the physical and mental torment in which he now finds himself?

The man in my arms was the most important person in my life. Right from the time that I first met him when I was still very young, there had been a spark between us – a connection that had never been completely broken. It was there all through the years when he was seeking adventure in other parts of Africa – it was there when his life took a turn that excluded me completely, and it had lain dormant until the time was right for it to ignite once again. It seemed to me that too many years had passed while he was away striving to accomplish his dreams – the dreams of a man who craved action, danger and adventure. His quest for adventure had, for so many years, seemed to draw us further and further apart, but now, at last, the man I loved so much was in my arms.
It was one of those very rare days in England when the weather was decidedly un-British. The unusual pressure system that swirled over the British Isles that early summer’s day drew in hot moist air all the way from Africa, causing the sun’s rays to become magnified as they filtered through the moisture laden atmosphere. It was so different from the normal British sunshine that would usually seep over a cool bracing dawn and highlight the countryside in fingers of bright warmth. This heat was humid and heavy, it felt like hot syrup and I could feel my arms prickling as the fierce rays burned into the exposed skin. The sky was a steely blue, but to the east there was a huge build-up of cumulonimbus clouds under which the sky was almost black. Ominous growls of distant thunder rumbled every now and again.
My mother had died just a few days after I had been born. Her death was caused by a blood clot that travelled from her leg up to her lung – she had been unaware that there was a problem at all, so when she died it was a dreadful shock to Dad because it was so unexpected. Zam was two years old at the time so neither of us could remember her at all, but we knew what she had looked like as Dad had hung a picture of her on the wall. It was in colour and showed a dainty, dark haired lady who had delicate features and was wearing bellbottomed jeans and a psychedelic peasant blouse. Her feet were bare and she was wearing no makeup but she had weaved white daisies into her dark hair. She held a guitar in her hands and I thought she was very beautiful and wished I could remember her. Her name was Jayne and Dad’s name was Tom, so their names were pretty ordinary.
As Josh hurried down the passage away from the dentists’ rooms and towards the lifts he felt a sense of relief. Although he was now a confident young adult he still disliked going to the dentist for check-ups. He hated the feeling of vulnerability as the dentist tipped the chair back so that he was lying almost horizontal. It made Josh feel at the mercy of the dentist and his middle-aged assistant who hovered over him with their instruments of torture in their hands. He detested the sharp things that were poked around his teeth and gums and the shriek of the drill set his nerves on edge, while the sight of the dentist coming towards him with a syringe in his hand made Josh feel very apprehensive.
