Stella Rees is beautiful, smart and pragmatic, but still a hopeless romantic willing to risk her life travelling across a war-torn continent for a man she barely knows. It's 1979, and her homeland of Africa is filled with turbulence and uncertainty - yet she is determined in her love for New Zealander Nick James.

Little does she know Nick and his family harbour a deep secret, leaving her to wonder if she truly knows the man she was destined for. Spanning half a century and five countries, delving deep into how family history shapes who we are, Wairaka Point is a story about the truth and what it is to believe in something beyond doubt.
