Summer 1976, South Africa. The student uprising in Soweto leads to bloodshed and an even more determined struggle against apartheid. These events connect two completely different destinies together. Robin is a nine-year-old girl from a wealthy white family. The color of her skin is a ticket to a happy future. Meanwhile, the dark-skinned teacher Beauty barely makes ends meet and has only one right - to survive. Having lost her closest relative, a girl and a teacher accidentally find themselves in the same house in Johannesburg. The heroines will have to walk the path of truth and redemption together and realize that skin color means nothing. Only the soul weighs. And she has no color...

Bianca Marais' debut novel was praised by the New York Post. This is an insightful story about fighting prejudice and stereotypes; that only by respecting each other and accepting differences can one overcome all difficulties. And this is one of the few works of art about apartheid, where the story is described from the point of view of individual heroes, whose fate depends on a peaceful resolution of this conflict.
