When Mark Heyward first went to Indonesia to teach at a small school in East Kalimantan, little did he realise how life-changing his decision would prove to be. Within three years, his Australian life would be behind him, and he would be travelling with fellow adventurers across remote Indonesian Borneo.

The story of that remarkable expeditionβ€”a true travel adventureβ€”coalesces with the author's longer journey into the complex heart of Indonesia. It is a journey that spans two decades, taking the reader from a treasured childhood in Tasmania to a new life in the world's most populous Muslim nation.

Along the way, the author travels from one end of the archipelago to the other, from the jungles of Kalimantan to the riots and political turmoil of Jakarta. When he meets and falls in love with Sopan, he must make another life-changing decision.

Crazy Little Heaven is both an extraordinary travelogue and a deeply personal memoir of transformation and discovery, offering a unique insight into the beauty and complexity of Indonesian life.
