Paperback. 2017. 256 pages. <br>Adele and Leonie live and work on remote Great Bar rier Island, so called because it faces the full brunt of wild Pa cific weather and acts as a barrier for the mainland about 100 ki lometers away. With a population of about 900, no electricity, no ATM, no street lights, and one pub, this is a wild and rugged pl ace. It has a long history of farming, whaling, and fishing, and the people who live there are a hardy lot, proud of their isolati on. It's also a popular summer holiday destination for mainlander s. Midwifery and nursing on a remote island brings with it a wide range of dramas and emergencies, and Adele and Leonie have many wonderful, sometimes tragic, sometimes happy, sometimes funny, st ories to tell of more than 25 years of challenging and uplifting work with the hardy island inhabitants. There are several dimensi ons to this book: it's a story about the simple life on an isolat ed island; a story about two remarkable women and how they forged their careers in a remote place; a story of community and the bi rths and deaths that shape the ups and downs of that community; a classic story of making do and overcoming adversity; and a story of hope and new life. ., Allen & Unwin, 2017, 3, HarperCollins Publishers.
