When Debra left Australia, it hadn't been her plan to live in a tiny Islamic Sultanate in Southeast Asia. It was Alex's dream to work in Brunei and the seventies were a time for pursuing dreams. She was young, still grieving the loss of her baby daughter, with no idea what she would find in this place so different from home.
While Alex devoted all his time to his new job, she was left to manage on her own. If not for Rahim, she would have been navigating alone through this maze of unfamiliar culture, with its strange customs and people, and its strict cultural laws against falling in love.
Where Sunbeams Fall is about searching for acceptance; the desire to belong in a forbidden world.
