Where the Mountains Breathe is the unforgettable true story of one family’s leap into the unknown.When Jan’s husband, Ross, accepts a two-year contract in the remote Western Highlands of Papua New Guinea Jan and their two young sons are forced to leave behind everything they know and love in New Zealand. Determined to make the best of an impossible situation, Jan immerses herself in research, convinced that careful planning can prepare them for life in a country that feels both mysterious and daunting.It can’t.Beyond the brochures and reassuring promises lies a world unlike anything they could have imagined. A land of breathtaking beauty, rich cultures, extraordinary resilience and challenges that will test them in ways they never expected. As the family navigates fear, adventure, heartbreak and joy, they discover that the greatest journeys are not measured in kilometres, but in the lives they touch and the perspectives they gain.Warm, honest and deeply evocative, Where the Mountains Breathe is a memoir of courage, family and transformation. It is a love letter to the people of Papua New Guinea and a reminder that sometimes the places we are most reluctant to go become the ones that shape us forever.
