Set against the most dramatic political events in South African history, a small child, lost and frightened, survives a night alone in the African bush. Kazi grows up disadvantaged, the son of a black farm laborer and preacher. During the fight for democracy, Kazi’s brothers are kidnapped when their father refuses to hold subversive meetings under the guise of his church, and Kazi embarks on a terrifying search for them. This is a powerful story of two families that explores apartheid, the fight for freedom and change, the rise of Nelson Mandela, and offers a perspective on what it meant to be black or white during a revolution that demanded a tragic price. The story, filled with unforgettable characters, is a spellbinding tale of love and faith, racial hatred and conflict, commitment, endurance, and revenge.
