Because of this interest I joined Facebook to advocate for change.Through Facebook I began to learn about asylum seekers on Manus Island and, made contact with and developed a close friendship with a man who had been incarcerated on the island, where he has now been held for over four and a half years. Online I met the person not the prisoner.He is an artist, a philosopher and a man with an enviable ability to look at the positives. He has taught me many things. This book examines our friendship and the joy and pain it has brought me.
