Summary:
Johannesburg,
South
Africa
. The Great Depression. In this harsh new country, young Isaac Helger burns with fiery determination--to break out of the inner city, to buy his scarred mother the home she longs for, to find a way to realize her dream of reuniting a family torn apart. But there are terrible, unspoken secrets of the past that will haunt him as he makes his way through a society brutalized by racism, as he loses his heart to an unattainable girl from the city's wealthiest heights and his every exit route from poverty dead-ends. When the threat of the Second World War insinuates itself with brutal force into Isaac's reality, he will face the most important choice of his life...and will have to learn to live with the consequences.
