Ruth Kissam was absent-mindedly perusing a noticeboard at a hospital in Papua New Guinea when she came across a flyer from the local morgue. That flyer opened the door for Ruth into the world of sorcery and the plight of women accused of witchcraft, who are attacked and even murdered as witches by angry villagers who are looking for someone to blame for everything from sickness to floods. Ruth couldn't ignore what she had discovered, and set about trying to make these witch hunts stop. Along the way, a young girl came into her life whose mother had been accused of sorcery and killed.
