Synopsis

The story is set in a country struggling to come to terms with change and challenged by the difficulty of good governance in the face of dire poverty juxtaposed with immense wealth. The hero finds himself challenged on a personal and professional level to be faithful to the truth and loyal to his calling even as his family disintegrates because of this. His journey to find the truth takes him to places and people who contribute to both his search and his personal growth in a way that he never expects. What starts out as a simple story about an attempted murder, in a country where murder is the order of the day, becomes an intriguing journey; a journey that exposes the dark underbelly of a society that is bent on proving to itself and the world at large that the democracy won with the blood of innocent children is a reality. The outcome is as unexpected as it is thought provoking.

About this title

About the Author

This is a first attempt at publishing for this writer. She is retired with some experience of motherhood, single parenting and survival skills from which to draw for inspiration. Her only credentials are her life experience. Having neglected her talent for writing after finishing high school retirement presented a new opportunity to pursue her love of writing. The ideas for her stories are drawn from everyday experience to which readers can easily relate. Her work should appeal particularly to anyone interested in a story with more than a superficial entertainment value although the action and adventure do offer some light entertainment. Her motivation for finally writing can be attributed to the hope that with her own effort her children may be inspired to develop their talents and to leave some documentary for their mature years when they may take an interest in what their parents and grandparents were all about. She lives in Durban, South Africa.
