Most people would have said that Sally McPhearson had it all. Sally was a wealthy, and powerful woman. Being the CEO of a major Canadian Corporation, most of Sally's business acquaintances liked her but almost all feared her. She carried a dark secret that she had managed to hide from everyone, perhaps even herself. Sally's career had become her whole life and she did not even realize it was because of her painful past. A corporate jet, or even her own private jet would have been within easy reach for her. However, Sally McPhearson always flew commercial, it was sort of her trademark. When she boarded the small commuter plane that day to travel to a business meeting in Toronto, she had no idea that her life was about to abruptly change. Sally was about to depart on a journey that would result in months full of death, pain, suffering, hunger, desperation, despair, and fear. She certainly would have not been able to comprehend that the experiences she was about to endure would forever change her life for the better. This book tells the story of plane crash survivors in the stark winter wilderness of Northern Ontario, Canada. Against overwhelming odds, they struggle to over come their adversities, and hardships, with a little help from a friend. What readers have said: "I loved this book, it is just the type of book I like to read, very exciting, I did not want to put it down." "I had to get up early the next morning and was sleepy, so I went to bed early and thought I would just read a few pages before I went to sleep. I finished the book at 2:00AM.

Even though she came from a background of wealth and privilege, Sally would have welcomed the opportunity to accompany her husband to the primitive villages of Papua New Guinea as a missionary, but there was more to consider now. They had just adopted two young Inuit children who hadn't yet learn to speak English. Would it be fair to transplant them form the Arctic to the steaming jungles? The Sinhuna family was just getting settled into their new lives and this would be a major disruption, demanding yet another adjustment. Still, this was a rare opportunity for Paul to fulfill a life-long dream to serve as a missionary pilot, and after all it was a short-term assignment. Though she certainly realized there was a spiritual need, the thought of living in primitive conditions for nine months with two young children didn't appeal to Sally at all. Did her reluctance stem from selfishness, fear, or realistic concerns about potential dangers that may await then? Wanting to be obedient to God, she prayed for direction and assurance, and the Lord sent a sign that was unmistakeable. The dangers Sally feared they may encounter in the remote jungles would prove to be only imagined. The real dangers they would face didn't involve poisonous snakes, crocodiles or cannibals. The real threat would come from being hunted by determined terrorists, driven by an evil ideology that is attempting to ensnare the world. Could they survive this unexpected ordeal? Would they live to see their children again? WHAT READERS HAVE SAID: "Lots of surprises, intense climax, heart-pounding tension " "This story makes you feel you're in the jungles of New Guinea, living among the people. It gives a good sense of their culture, and the impact missionaries have had on them. You can't help but care for the story's characters, and the tension builds until you can't put the book down. "A page-turner. Educational, thrilling, exciting, fulfilling. You won't be disappointed."
Mainly set in remote and isolated northern Canada, this wilderness adventure is a stand alone book. However, it is also a sequel to the top selling novel Survival at Starvation Lake and takes up where the first book left off. Susan, a 24 year old widow and single mother was facing a big financial problem. She had been on her own since her husband lost his life five years ago, only months after her father died. Susan had spent her whole life in the Canadian bush but the local saw mill had closed. The saw mill's closing caused the local school to close for lack of students. That meant Susan would lose custody of her daughter Lilly if they didn't move to somewhere Lilly could attend school. Susan thought her only hope to find a job in the middle of a major economic recession was to move to Sault Ste. Marie. She didn't know anyone there and lacked the finances for the move. Susan knew she would feel out of place in the big city and didn't want to move. The move seemed like her only option, until a mysterious stranger left her a large financial gift which meant a job wouldn't be essential. This would allow her to move to the much smaller town of Wawa. The stranger left a note and a very large check, then disappeared. From the note it was obvious the woman knew a lot about Susan and Lilly but Susan couldn't understand how. The lady had signed the note Sally Sinhuna but the name wasn't familiar to Susan or anyone she asked. Months later the lives of this stranger and Susan were destined to become entwined.
