Lost Lovers 

Grace Upendo is a Sexually-abused Swahili African. Despite her strength, she is unable to reach out to those who could help heal her heart but is saved by Sean Hope, a Catholic Missionary. They fall in love. But when Sean understands how damaged she is, he comes to realize that to heal her he must leave her. Years later, Grace steals a yacht and begins a voyage of discovery through stormy seas to an uncharted, magical island near Brisbane, Australia. There, in this unearthly land of honey, she begins to find new hope. On the island an adventure begins with a magical play, LOST LOVERS based in part on Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Its cast of strange animals includes a talking Kangaroo called Sue the Two-Headed ‘Roo. When she recognises the ‘Roo as Sean, and he understands that Grace is his lost lover, then the magic of a loving future begins.
