"Matlwa''s voice is one we need." --Rowan Hisayo Buchanan
"Matlwa is South Africa''s Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie." --Rosie Rowell, The Bookseller
"Written in delicate prose recalling Zinzi Clemmons''s What We Lose, this raw, honest work draws readers into Masechaba''s South African world." --Library Journal (Starred Review)
When Masechaba finally achieves her childhood dream of becoming a doctor, her ambition is tested as she faces the stark reality of South Africa''s public health-care system.
As she leaves her deeply religious mother and makes friends with the politically-minded Nyasha, Masechaba''s eyes are opened to the rising xenophobic tension that carries echoes of apartheid.
Battling her inner demons, she must decide if she should take a stand to help her best friend, even if it comes at a high personal cost.
