About the Book

Three short stories detailing the agonies of three young, vulnerable teens living in extreme poverty.

Desperate for even a tiny fraction of hope, having been kicked out of the house to earn her way in life as a prostitute, Ntombi is mesmerised by it the beauty of a rainbow. Will she find the help she needs from her community when her family has rejected her?

Gladys is angry. At herself. At her sister. At the world. She recently gave birth to a child, the child who was to provide her with her only source of love, but something really terrible happened. She and her friends now live with the guilt of what happened. Is there any hope for her, or justice for the wrongs done?

Themba and Elizabeth, orphan and half-orphan, discover a man who has been shot. They help him, and in so doing, discover a trail of clues that will lead them to an international criminal. They are put in considerable danger, but how will they resolve the mystery?

This book of short stories introduces you to the sights, sounds and smells of deep poverty, and the disturbing challenges these people face - especially orphans and vulnerable children, but also to the hope they find in community.
