Willis Cameron needs a fresh start. Estranged from his overly-controlling father and heart-broken over the loss of his first love, Willis decides to take a job in Ghana (West Africa) as an education specialist for a Canadian government project. Once in Ghana, Willis meets Esther Ferguson and finds himself strangely attracted to this missionary nurse, who challenges his agnosticism and reawakens his interest in romance. Sparks fly between them as Esther's faith conflicts with the scientific rationalism of Willis. But Esther is engaged to be married to a doctor back in Canada. As Willis struggles to find purpose and meaning in his life, Esther grows confused by her increasing regard for Willis. Is her commitment to her fianc faltering? Could she be falling in love with a man who doesn't share her faith? As ex-patriots in a country experiencing social upheaval and political turmoil, Willis and Esther each struggle with their own internal turmoil, ultimately discovering that God has a plan for each of them which is quite different than their own. Allan Connor's experiences as an agricultural missionary in India and as an adult education specialist on a large water project in Ghana, West Africa, provided him with the background knowledge necessary to write An Unlikely Saint.
