This first-person account tells the fascinating story of the three years Elder Groberg spent on the islands in the South Pacific amidst a kindly people who had a deep faith in God, a faith that provides the backdrop for Elder Groberg's accounts of miraculous healings, protective warnings, and perilous voyages; for such stories as: The emergancy night voyage on a turbulent sea, and the anxious search for the only guiding light into the destination harbor. The boy whose apparently lifeless body was handed to the missionaries with the words, "Here, make him well again you have the power." The storm that overturned the boat, throwing missionaries into the raging sea. The hurricane that hit the little island. The hunger when the usual supply boat failed to show up. And much, much more. This remarkable book paints a vivid picture of missionary life in a society geared to "a different way of thinking."

Defiantly beautiful, Caroline Wetherby stepped ashore in a land so wild and fierce, she trembled. She had come seeking refuge with the last of her family, but her sister was dead. Waiting to greet her were pious Pilgrims, warring Indians, howling wolves, a boisterous household of men and boys...and him, her rugged, unwelcoming brother-in-law, Matt Mathieson. Caroline wanted to hate Matt as she hated all men. After her father's death, she'd been eager to escape England. But as daughter of a gambler and a gypsy, her flamboyant ways and healing skills tempted disaster in the sanctimonious Connecticut Colony. And putting herself in the hands of a big, handsome stranger tempted something far more dangerous--emotions she couldn't resist, kisses she couldn't forget, and a future that could bring ruin...or a journey to heaven on earth in his arms.

A comedian, a nun, a reality TV star and countless others meet in a Garden. This is not the start of a joke, but the beginnings of a parable. These denizens may be running out of time, even as it seems there is all the time in their Kafkaesque world. Reader Reviews: “With deceptive simplicity, the mutable voices combine in a tale both irresistible and haunting. Reading this story feels like witnessing a communion, or perhaps vivisection, of familiar states of being. Evocative and unforgettable.” —Shubigi Rao, author of Pulp “Wong pulls the rug from under us but leaves us still standing, albeit transported via his magic carpet ride to a new vantage point and offered a different perspective.” –KK Seet, author of Death Rites

Some touched. Some watched. Some just talked to me. They all had their vices. Fear. Betrayal. Loss. I'm trailer trash in the slums of Carillon.

I shouldn't want him. I don't need him. But when I close my eyes, he's all I see. He's my addiction. The secret I keep close to my heart. But sometimes things aren't what they seem, and secrets don't stay secrets forever. And together, we're just two lost souls on the wrong side of heaven.

I once heard that we don't have to allow our past to dictate our future and who we choose to become. That is easier said than done as many of us seem to repeat the vicious circle of life that we grew up in and experienced, and it may be the only life one knows to live. But there is the Other Side of Heaven on Earth, and once you find true love, the unconditional love of God the father nothing is impossible. This is a biography of the trial and tribulations that allowed me to turn from a victim into a victor. I am a first-generation Australian born to Greek parents who migrated here in the 1960s. My father passed away, and my mother, who was deserted by family, raised her three children on her own. I in turn migrated back to Greece when I was eighteen years old for five years, only to end up returning back home to Australia with two kids in my arms and a broken marriage. "The Other Side of Heaven on Earth" is about a life transformation of an abused young girl from a migrant family who enters into womanhood only to become a battered wife. She ends up being abandoned with her two children, overcoming and conquering mental, emotional, and physical dysfunction by her own spiritual and supernatural experiences that lead her to true love and a destiny that surpassed her wildest imagination and dreams.
