He leaves behind a loving family and the genuine love of his own lifetime. During letters and musings over the streets, John shares his humbling and at times humorous adventures with"your ex back home", and her letters piled his spirits up occasionally. John must struggle to overcome language barriers, physical hardship and suspicion to deserve the Tongan people's confidence and love he's come to function. He finds friends and wisdom . John H. Groberg's Tongan odyssey will transform his life for ever.
