A bold, sweeping story of one girl's rise from obscurity to an unpredictable kind of political power Abandoned by her mother, Hillela is left to be raised by her two aunts in South Africa.

Personal tragedy is ultimately the catalyst for her political development, leading her into a heroic role in the overthrow of apartheid.
