My Hands Came Away Red is a book that is more than amazing. In this story, a girl named Cori tries to escape her complicated love life by going to Indonesia to help build a church on an island. But the day after they finish building the church, conflict arises. Daniel and Martai, the pastor of the church is dead as well as many of the villagers. The church that was once standing, is now burnt. And Cori as well as the rest of her team (Kyle, Brendan, Mark, Elissa, and Drew)find themselves hiking through thick jungles on mountain territory being led by Daniel's and Martai's son Manuel (called Mani) and taking care of his younger sister Christina (called Tina) as they try to find a way back to Ambon, where they can take flight back to the capitol Jakarta while they face many obstacles from giant pythons, to malaria. This book is a must read.
