A remarkable memoir, frank, heart-warming... with a healthy dose of humour. - Bessie Ali, author of “Chinese in Fiji”.
Catching the Wind: A Search for God is an inspiring memoir, spanning 73 years, from humble beginnings to becoming the head of Fiji’s civil aviation regulator, and participating with ICAO in the introduction of new technologies (such as GPS) which made aviation safer and more efficient locally regionally and internationally.
The book provides a rare exposé of the personal lives of a Chinese migrant family living in Fiji, of childhood escapades, of love and marriage, as well as Norman’s incredible spiritual experiences where in mid-career, God intervened dramatically and changed his whole outlook on life.
