Description
Imprisoned by the apartheid regime in South Africa, Verity Saunders endures the daily degradation of her incarceration whilst coming to terms with the disappearance of her activist lover, Tariq Randeree.
Thirty years later, Verity sets out to uncover the truth about her past and to confront those who brutalised and betrayed her. As secrets are exposed she learns that in order to truly heal she must embrace the path of forgiveness.
