After years of reconciliation work in Ireland, Wilhelm Verwoerd wants to make peace with his family especially regarding the legacy of his grandfather, HF Verwoerd. Diaries belonging to his grandmother, Betsie Verwoerd, and talks with friends who suffered under apartheid help him reach an understanding of living with integrity in South Africa.
When, in the 1990s, Wilhelm Verwoerd openly spoke out against his grandfather's racist policies, he was ejected from the family. Working in Northern Island, making peace between former enemies, he feels the urge to return to his homeland, to make peace with his own family. This moving memoir examines the complexities of having Verwoerd blood in your veins whilst fully acknowledging that Verwoerd has blood on his hands.
