How should we respond to horrifying injustices perpetrated upon loved ones? Vengefully? Or is there a different way that builds and affirms our shared humanity? Democracy has come to South Africa and Dukuza is determined to follow his calling as a playwright, writing about how people can connect. Then he is told the appalling truth about his parents' deaths. His life veers off course. Will he choose the power of the pen - or the panga? An inspiring story for young people about racist cruelty, revenge, forgiveness and redemption. The book can be read on its own or as a sequel to the CAPS-approved Senior Phase novel, Beautiful Hope, by the same author.
