Me, my bestie, her husband and his colleague...At one point my friend’s husband began to make gestures with his head and hands imitating a mental patient. The surprise made the young doctor and I look at each other, and he shrugged and raised his hands in a gesture of “What shall we do?” But my bestie’s reaction was even more surprising.“STOP! Stop right now!” she shouted, getting up and trying to hit the husband in the face.I’d never seen her so angry. Everyone in the pub looked at us in surprise, some with a slight smile, others with a disapproving look, most looking frightened. In a flash, the trainee doctor stood up and grabbed my friend by the wrists. Then her husband also stood up, gestured with his hand “take her” to his colleague and shouted “the bill, please”. I was paralysed in my chair.

It was a place of stark contrasts, a cacophony of modern glass towers glinting under the harsh Australian sun and stately heritage buildings whispering tales of bygone eras. The air, heavy with a tropical humidity, carried unfamiliar scents: the sharp tang of salt from the nearby river, the sweet perfume of frangipani blossoms, and the underlying aroma of exhaust fumes and simmering spices.
This book “…Been through Fire, But Mercy Spared Me” is written not because the writer wants to attract sympathy or broadcast her medical history. Instead, the aim is to share so that persons in the same situation can draw courage and strength in the fact that what God cannot do does not exist (Matt. 19:26; Mk. 9:23 and Mk. 10:27).
