"this book moved me through so many emotions !!! Following the plight of a South African women living through the effects and after effects of Apartheid. I have read many books on the topic of apartheid but have never come across a book that personalizes the direct impact of the violence within the four walls of your home and your mind and at the same time the duality of humankind to be both kind and nasty. This auto-biography is must a read. I think it will be one of those that I will read many more times. It will take time for me to digest the contents of the book and it covers some really heart wrenching and VERY real topics of violence. "
