Set against the backdrop of the raw, natural beauty of South Africa, Yellow Protea is the story of how an ambitious secondee finds unexpected love in this alien, wondrous land. Told in verse, the book chronicles John's adventures in the Southern hemisphere and his unforeseen encounter with beautiful local girl, Karen. Forcing himself to overcome his inherent shyness he takes the plunge and asks her out. From nervous beginnings, their relationship develops into true love as they spend more time together created shared memories. But what will happen when John's secondment ends? Will he make plans to return to South Africa? Will Karen leave her home and go with him overseas? Will their romance end? David Stead was born into a working class Yorkshire family. His grounded upbringing provided stability although a lack of siblings left gaps in social interaction affecting his feelings throughout his life. His passion for writing and exploring emotion through poetry has been a constant, driven by events both experienced and denied. This is David's seventh published book.
