Chosen Lives

By Mala Naidoo

Will they stay the course? Can Truth, Understanding, and Compassion save them?

'Chosen Lives' charts the journey of unforgettable women from tumultuous pasts. They are head-hunted by a secret mission for a leadership training program in Thailand. Within an hour after departure, the flight veers off course to a luxurious, unknown destination.

Patience a social worker, and Ming, a school teacher come to the fore in this compelling, contemporary tale. Selected as the mission's trainers, for a New World Order, they are cut-off from outside communication. When the mission's commander is revealed as deceptively gracious and militant, doubts fester leaving the recruits with confused despair, and the innate desire to shake up the future. Trust is compromised, and tension escalates until the shocking personal testimony sessions begin. Intimate truths open past wounds that force Patience and Ming to rethink their criticisms of others. From Canberra to The Hague, the initial interest in the missing passengers dwindles with rising speculations on the gender politics at play.

Set in Australia with journeys to evocative destinations that create a profound understanding of the value of compassion for those who struggle to face the reality of their truths.

Are the passengers' victims of a terrorist organisation under the guise of humanitarian pursuits?

'Chosen Lives' wrestles with hope for a New World Order amidst the fear of today.
