In 1942, when war came to the region, the expat women of South East Asia had no skills other than their ability to socialize. During three and a half years of deprivation and incarceration, these women became innovative survivors keeping their husbands’ children safe; women who looked at the moon every night and dreamed of freedom. Through the eyes of 14 year old Emelia, we experience the life of Australian nurses, English and Dutch expats and local Indonesian women in a Japanese POW camp in Java during World War II. Through her experiences and interactions, Emelia learns not just about survival, but about the human spirit, love, friendship and religion, and what it means to be a woman.

In the countdown to Christmas the disappearance of a young girl rocks a small town community instigating a chain of events that will alter the lives of everyone involved. For Simon, the world he has built here was a second chance; though still ridden with guilt, in the eyes of the law he has paid for his mistake. Given a new identity, new history and a single confidante, he has successfully buried the truth of his past; even from Jessica, the woman he loves. Will events force Simon to face his past and does the community have the right to know his true identity?
