In 1994, South Africa teeters on the edge of transformation, but for Yolanda Petersen, the past holds her captive. Returning home from Appalachia at her mother’s urging, Yolanda hopes to reconcile with her estranged daughter, Ingrid, born of a forbidden, mixed-race love affair.
But Ingrid is missing. In a country gripped by political upheaval and racial violence, Yolanda uncovers dark secrets tying her daughter to a powerful white family. Ingrid’s existence threatens to expose a crime buried deep in the shadow of apartheid, and the lengths one woman will go to protect her son could turn deadly.
As Yolanda searches for her child, she’s pulled into a web of danger and moral reckoning that forces her to confront the legacy of betrayal, love, and survival.
