Publisher's Synopsis
A true story. A dying wife invokes an ancient tradition of the church in Europe, naming her "replacement" before she dies. This is no ordinary replacement, but a rural African woman of royal descent. Her clan, too, has ancient traditions. The author finds himself cold starting an arranged marriage by African custom. In the "new" South Africa. A heart-warming, tumultuous tale. 120+ BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS IN THIS EDITION.

Apart from being a love story, the book covers some interesting questions: - Is an arranged marriage better? - What is the process of the bride price? - Was there any racism in the new South Africa? - What was a new African family like?
