Pip is a New Zealand woman who is working as a Pain Management
Counsellor in a hospital in the Scottish Borders. She has come to
the UK in search of her destiny.
When Pip meets Osi, a staunch British Army Officer, they are
both overwhelmed by their physical and spiritual connection. The
timing is not good for their relationship as Osi is deployed to
Iraq. When he goes, their bond takes Pip into an intense emotional
and spiritual adventure. As she no longer has physical contact with
Osi, she maintains her connection with him via a journal, where she
lives pain and health care by day and pain and war with Osi by
night. She becomes reliant on the media for any information
regarding his mission. Her visions and dreams of war become so
entangled with her daily life that she is not sure where the
boundaries of reality lie.
When Osi returns, his experiences in Iraq confirm to Pip that
her dreams and visions are a spiritual gift. His return is short
lived. Throughout her journal Pip uses songs and poetry to entwine
her dreams with stories of her life in the Borders, travel, visits
with her old friend Milton and Jacquie who has cancer. Through it
all Pip is supported by these close friendships and her sister in
New Zealand, with whom she relies on regular contact. As their
paths continue to cross in her dreams and in reality, she is
inspired to write a book about the richness and pain he has brought
to her life.
This heart warming story explores relationships across age and
culture, set against the backdrop of Army and Healthcare
institutions. It identifies with anyone who may have been touched
by the God of War.
