The many shifts of Maurice Andrew's childhood led him to see New Zealand as a long country - a sprawling white line that contained a wealth of people and experiences. He set off, but what began as a frightening lurch gradually developed into a on-going journey of faith and personal discovery. Set in a Long Place is the autobiography of Maurice Andrew, a Presbyterian minister for 40 years, who has ridden the bumps and ruts of life, and emerged bruised but perservering.
