Placed second in our 2009 New Novels Competition, A Flight Delayed is quirky and exotic. When career-focused Amanda McCree discovers that her controlling Great Aunt, as a last request, has especially asked that Amanda carry her Aunt’s remains to Cape Town, Amanda is furious. The last thing she wants is to be forced to visit her parents there, after so many years of bitterness over their rejection. To top it all, she finds herself stranded at her stopover in Bulawayo due to fuel shortages! But through the love of a family that takes her into their game reserve home, the economic crisis of Zimbabwe, and a man who daily lives with his own guilt and heartbreak, Amanda realises that God is more interested in her than she had ever thought. In the heart of the African bush, as she is let into the hurting world of the handsome Caleb Jacobs and his family, Amanda is forced to face her own family divisions and to depend upon the God she thought had failed her.
THE AUTHOR: With a heart for Africa and for the hurting of this world, KC Lemmer writes with a desire to show the love of God and His compassion towards people. KC grew up in Zimbabwe amongst people who lived out the love of God and taught her what it means to be part of His church. She completed her university studies in South Africa, discovering God’s faithfulness and compassion in greater measures. KC then trained as a Christian Counselor and English Teacher and now lives with her family in Scotland.

“Fascinating story! Follow Amanda McCree as her life takes some unexpected, unplanned twists and turns on an unwanted journey to Africa. Through these, she learns the truth about her family and regains her faith in God, who shows her He is a Father of the fatherless, a defender of the widow, is holy in His habitation, and that He sets the solitary in families (Ps. 68:5).”
— Dr. Karen Joy King , Christian Leadership University professor, journalist, Counselor, Musician
