This is the story of love, commitment and the flowering of the human spirit against the background of South Africa?s apartheid. Frightened that their baby sister Dineo will die, thirteen-year-old Naledi and her younger brother Tiro run away from their grandmother to Johannesburg to find their mother, who works there as a maid. Their journey illustrates at every turn the grim realities of apartheid ? the pass laws, bantustans, racism, the breakdown of family life.

The opulence of the white ?Madam?s? house contrasts starkly with the reality that Naledi and Tiro face ? that their baby sister is suffering from starvation, not an incurable disease.
