How can a blind pilot rescue a kidnapped nurse from desperate guerillas? Nick Archer was a bush pilot for the Missionary Aviation Support Team when the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) attacked Finca Fe, a boarding school for missionary kids, expats, and various local children situated along the Magdalena River in remote south-central Colombia. Nick and his plane were stationed there, but he escaped capture and injury. However, Terri Kaplan, the school nurse, was kidnapped along with two other staff members, one of whom was later killed while the other escaped. Driven by his love for Terri, Nick ignores his diabetes and its threat to his eyesight while he risks everything to find Terri and rescue her from the jungle camp where the FARC has taken her to attend to their wounded. Duplicity by the CIA and pressure from the United States on the Colombian government to curtail the rampant cocaine trade turn Nick’s rescue efforts into a total disaster. Complicating their crises are spiritual battles: Terri becomes confused about what she should do when she actually has a chance to escape, and Nick wonders where God is or if He even exists when God does not seem to answer any of his prayers. When Nick loses his vision from neglecting his eye problems at the very moment he has a chance to save Terri, he ends up flying blind!
