Born to a Black Xhosa mother and a White Swiss father, his very existence was a criminal act under the oppressive laws of the time. This book traces his journey from a life spent largely hidden indoors to navigating the complex social landscape of a post-apartheid nation, shaped profoundly by his fearless and fiercely protective mother.
