After a devastating persecution that took their mother's life, thirteen-year-old twin sisters Mukenani and Tiwe escape south to leave behind their painful memories and deep-rooted superstitions. Mukenani starts attending South Bauleni Community School, a rundown secondary school for Black students in Katima Mulilo, where she faces the challenges of school politics and racial tensions. Eager for a new beginning in the oppressive apartheid environment of Namibia, her dreams are crushed when she develops the same skin condition that caused her mother's death.
With the help of her new friend Lisa and Miss Margaret O'Hara, the only white teacher at the school, Mukenani begins to uncover the truth about her condition—vitiligo.
Meanwhile, Lisa, who grew up in poverty, works hard to become a teacher and secures a job at a prestigious private school in Windhoek. As she climbs the ladder of success, her once-kind nature becomes hardened by the pressures of ambition.
Will Mukenani find the courage to accept her true self, and can Lisa balance her ambitions with her core values?
In a world filled with challenges—from the harsh realities of apartheid to personal struggles with self-acceptance—these sisters must navigate difficult paths that will test their strength and reshape their dreams.
If you're searching for a novel that explores the intricacies of growing up, ambition, and family relationships while tackling themes of love, jealousy, and cultural heritage, this is the book for you. Don't miss out on a story that will challenge your views and touch your heart.
