About "A Flight Delayed": When career-focused Amanda McCree discovers that her controlling Great Aunt, as a last request, has especially asked that she be the one to carry her Aunt’s remains to Cape Town, South Africa, Amanda is furious. The last thing she wants to do is travel to another continent with her Great Aunt’s ashes - even less to visit her parents after so many years of bitterness over their rejection. Amandais even more horrified to find herself stranded at her stopover in Zimbabwe due to fuel shortages.

But over the next month, through the love of a family that takes her in, 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. As all Amanda’s plans go haywire and she finds herself suddenly helpless in the heart of the African bush, surrounded by wilderness and dangerous animals, miles away from her needful friend who is suffering from anorexia, and 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.
