Publisher's Synopsis
Since an assignment in Cape Town ended in tragedy and regret, journalist Nadine Morgan has not returned to South Africa - until she hears the story of Jason Irving. Jason, an American student, was beaten to death at the height of the apartheid era. Years later, his killers have applied for amnesty and, filled with rage, Jason's mother resolves to fight their pleas for forgiveness. Hoping to lose herself in her coverage of the murder trial, Nadine grows closer to Jason's mother as well as to the mother of one of Jason's killers - with profound consequences. In a country both foreign and familiar, Nadine is forced to face long-buried demons, come to terms with the missing pieces of her own family past, and learn what it means to truly love and to forgive.
