Book Description
'I was made in Coffee Bay. Right there on the beach, in the sand.' From the opening lines, we are drawn in and engrossed by this startling memoir of a singular childhood. Suzan is adopted as a newborn in the late 1960s into a seemingly loving and welcoming family living in Pietermaritzburg. But Suzan is set on a collision course with, most particularly, her adoptive mother, and society, from her very beginning. Suzan's relationship with her mother is fraught with drama, which veers over into a level of emotional abuse and needless cruelty that is shocking. At the age of thirteen, Suzan is sent to a place of safety as a ward of the state, effectively 'orphaning' her. From there, she spirals out of control – fighting to survive in a world of other neglected, abandoned and abused children. She becomes a 'runner', escaping at every opportunity from her various places of confinement, grabbing her schooling in snatches, living on the edges of a drug and prostitution underworld, finding love wherever she can. Suzan's young life was the stuff of movies, but it is her writing, in a voice that is unforgettable and true, that transforms her memories into something magical rarely matched in South African literature. A new classic.

Book Description
The streets are bustling, the flow of people is like running water. At the entrance to the small town, a thin and small figure staggered forward, bright red liquid oozing out of her body, swirling everywhere. Strangely, the roadside flowers and grass were already soaked with blood, and for a moment, it was like drinking a fairy spring, changing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon, the whole body of these flowers and grass was like there is a glint of prophecy. She squatted down to stroke the other flower and grass, her fingertips passed through the stem of the flower without any hindrance, her face was sad, she withdrew her hand, stood up and continued.
