"In this series, children will learn about people, both Māori and Pākehā, who attempted to live by the most selfless of standards even in the midst of very difficult circumstances ... As a point of interest, in these stories children will discover how many Māori embraced Christian values (including forgiveness and peace) at a level that was far higher than that of the colonial armies and those settlers who oppressed them. This is New Zealand's untold story"--Publisher's Web site.

"Sickened by war, Henry Williams turns his back on a career in the English Navy. He dedicates his life to the native people of New Zealand only to find them at war. Now he finds himself standing in defence of his home with his own family at risk. A threat is being made to burn his house down. Will they survive? Will Henry Williams be able to make a difference in this new country?"--Back cover.
