Madeline has enjoyed a holiday at home and has decided to return to the workforce. She discovers to her horror that the only position available is at the hospital on Palm Island, where approximately 2,200 inhabitants are either Aboriginal, or of Aboriginal descent.
Her duties also demand that she apply her Midwifery training, an area of nursing she has avoided for ten years. Four weeks earlier, Maddy had committed her life to the Lord Jesus Christ. Confronted by her deep racial prejudice, and an intense fear of Midwifery, she is in deep turmoil. Travel with Madeline while the Holy Spirit works on her heart, as the potter does clay. Finally, she realises that the subsequent offer of another position away from the island cannot tempt her to leave her new home.
