Jeem

Thrust into teaching people whose language he didn’t understand in a country with a government that wanted to silence his voice, American weekly newspaper editor Jim Doerr, travels throughout the tropical Indonesian archipelago meeting unexpected challenges. The year was 1997. And things in Indonesia were about to change. In two previous trips, Doerr had encountered questions that he had been unprepared to answer. He was determined to make this trip different. He had mastered a few words and phrases in Indonesian. He brought note cards with famous sayings about the importance of free speech. But Doerr wasn’t expecting to stumble into the highest levels of government intrigue. And a tropical romance was only a fantasy.
