Debauchery, disease, deception, death and killing were the inevitable results of a lawless society seen everywhere. It was only a matter of time until this land was destined to be devoid of crowds of any sort unless some sort of miracle occurred.</p><p>Fortunately for all of us 'some sort of miracle' did take place and THE JEWEL IN THE SEA tells the story. A miraculous series of events pivotal on the life of a 12-year old girl in the Waikato were the catalyst to help bring about the change the country so desperately needed-the freedom, the zeal, the life and the liberty we all enjoy in this beautiful land called Aotearoa.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>"Riveting. Real. Revelationary. A stunning account of the tumultuous history of Aotearoa told with tremendous wit<br /> and great insight.

A gift to the nation<br /> of Aotearoa</em>-<em>and a must-read for any age." </em></p><p>- Janet Balcombe, author <em>The Wild Side</em></p><br>
