Beyond the Reef: A Medical Volunteer Sojourn

When two young doctors Michele and Michael Browne embarked on a two-year volunteer sojourn to a tiny Pacific island in the 1980s they were faced with far more than they had expected. While they experienced adventure and humour in this picturesque setting their intense isolation and the life and death encounters that they faced in their medical work tested their resilience as never before. When personal tragedy struck their young family late in their posting they found themselves profoundly changed - both then and ever since.
