Paul Titus
The author was once an orphan and he sees education as the only way out of poverty. The book covers many aspects of the real and untold experiences of growing up in Papua New Guinea (PNG). It is an experience of being raised in a village setting with different sets of cultural beliefs, lifestyles, food, climate and value systems.
It also comparatively covers the author's life, studying and working in New Zealand, where he came to appreciate differences; not only at the socio-economic level, but also in how people see the world through their own lenses.
