The high-spirited, adventurous story of a young doctor, Tom Davis, part Polynesian and part Welsh, who left his home island of Rarotonga at the age of eleven to be educated in New Zealand and who returned sixteen years later as a full-fledged doctor to help his own people in their struggle for health and well-being.
It is also the story of Lydia Davis, his wife, a New Zealand girl who came to Rarotonga knowing nothing of its ways and language; who stood by 'Dr Tom' and was his staunchest ally.
