Happy Birthday! 6 years in the making, Sticks in a Bundle was born today!
Sticks in a Bundle is a trilogy that reveals a history of racial injustice many know little about, as experienced by a young woman trying to understand it herself. Eshile Mthembu, born of Xhosa, Zulu, and Dutch descent, grows up in a Soweto shanty in the heart of South Africa’s apartheid rule. She lives with fear and discrimination in a society that regulates her family’s every move and prevents achievement of their dreams. Despite cultural, religious, and linguistic differences, Eshile’s family bases their love and forgiveness on the African proverb: Sticks in a bundle are unbreakable.
