About this ebook
This is a story about how, a white woman from a wealthy privileged background and a black woman from rural background, become friends. And through circumstances, which bring them closer together, and where colour has no place, they and their children form a bond which is unbreakable.
Phumlas battle with Aids, after being raped, and the subsequent rape of her only child, give Mary-Ann an insight of the hardships of African women. They both cross the divide.

I started my writing career, as the dance critic for the Herald Newspaper in Port Elizabeth. My mentor Terry Herbst suggested that I take a course in creative writing, and I have never looked back. Despite the fact that I was a working mother, writing gave me the creative outlet that I needed. Born in England I finished my education in South Africa. Before I married I travelled all over Europe and the Far East, and lived for a while in Italy. I have always been curious about the culture of other people, especially in South Africa.
