This astonishing autobiographical work is the story of a young Australian woman's complex love affair with Africa and its people. Sandy Blackburn-Wright lived and worked in South Africa between 1988 and 2003- years coinciding with some of the Nations most tumultuous and significant events, including the release of Nelson Mandela. As a community development worker in the township she witnessed the brutality of life under the apartheid regime. At the same time she was bewitched by the uncrushable spirit of the people, the richness of the culture and the beauty of the land. Through her work, and her marriage to a black South African, she became part of a world few white women have entered, experiencing first hand the joys and challenges of township life and mixed race families.
