Benn Rhyens was born in 1963 in a small town on the edge of the Namib desert. Nearly forty years he shared in the darkest and brightest of life in Africa, till autumn of 2002 saw him leaving a preordained path and his beloved country. Leading a chosen life, he currently resides on the Gold Coast of Australia.
In this epic adventure of destiny and betrayal in Namibia, two people pursue their hearts' desire, with devastating consequences.
Sixteen-year-old Ruben Odendaal knows little about romantic love. His whole life has unfolded within the bounds of the family farm, steeped in the shadows of painful racial tension and volatile politics. Then he meets Isabelle Hoffman, a girl with a universe of promise and possibility in her eyes, and suddenly, anything seems possible. But for all their deep yearning and devotion, Isabelle's mother has other plans, and their love is severed as quickly as it takes bloom.
Decades later, when fate conspires to bring Ruben back into Isabelle's life, time has only exacerbated their differences. Isabelle is now married to an affluent businessman, while Ruben longs to leave Africa and find a new beginning elsewhere. Namibia has also changed, but violence simmers alongside hate and despair.
Longings deepen and secrets grow. Bound to pursue rekindled feelings, Isabelle and Ruben find the twin wills of power and prejudice before them, demanding an impossible sacrifice.
