A remarkable escape from shelling during the First World War; a river that appears overnight in time for a baptism and disappears the same afternoon; a particularly difficult piece of surgery completed with the aid of a mysterious voice: are these the work of God or merely coincidence? Drawing from a range of extraordinary experiences from the author's youth and her work in Jamaica, Pakistan, India and Burma, these appealing and thought-provoking stories leave readers to make up their own minds.
