A revealing personal journal, this life story of Lorna Levy follows her from being shaken out of a privileged white upbringing in 1950s South Africa and awakening to the inequity around her amid radical political movements to her exile in England and eventual return to Cape Town. This chronicle shows insights into the struggle to free South Africa from apartheid and reveals how that struggle manifested itself through individuals exiled outside of the country. Searching for an identity and place in a foreign culture while working for decades towards improvements at home, this narrative shows a life stripped of all the myths and explores the complex situation and emotions of returning home.
