This is a beautiful story set in a not so beautiful world of apartheid. Robin, a white girl, loses her parents in the Soweto Uprising and Beauty, a black teacher, finds her activist daughter missing.
Beauty comes to watch and care over Robin. Put together through both of their losses, we see a bond form between the two that shows that the world isn't black and white but a place for us all.... To love, to lose, to just be.
Robin makes some big mistakes along the way but was so brave in her pursuit to make things right in the end.
