Book Description: Beyond Reach? employs a fact-cum-fiction plot to tell a witty story of how a feisty young married woman inspires a church minister to join the campaign. The result is an explosive mix that takes them into a world that neither bargained for. Their relationship energises them for the campaign, leading them to an expos? of government duplicity, of how the claims made about more aid and debt relief were far from all they seemed. This is also a story about forbidden love and the meaning of life. The relationship of the book s two main characters is set against a background of faithfulness, commitment, weakness and opportunity.
