Overview

He swung his booted foot and delivered a kick to her face, not unlike a Springbok fullback at Ellis Park. We gazed in horror as her blood smeared across the floor. 'Mommy, mommy, ' Chantel screamed, 'Let's go-please!' * * * My stepfather John Macklin, a stocky, alcoholic, manic-depressive with an inferiority complex, whose heart was as dark as his hair was to drag us around South Africa and Zimbabwe like gypsies until I escaped from his control, aged sixteen. We only stopped long enough in one place for him to get fired from whichever job he had and the violence came at regular intervals, mostly on paydays. My first recollections of his character were to come at the age of five, but my Mother's earlier life, before she met him, had been almost as traumatic, if less violent. Amber Zacharia This book is a startling insight into the resilience of the human mind and its ability to overcome the harshest of conditions. To remain a balanced married woman and a mother of three boys and write this book in six months at night gives us some idea of the single-mindedness of Amber. The memories will never fade but they can be overcome. JB. Woods 2010
