Author, Troy Alexander Devine (1980-2013):
“South Africa is a beacon to the world of how a nation can have a peaceful power shift without war and bloodshed. The tribal nations and communities of South Africa have a history which is anchored in tradition. Since the dawn of man, they have struggled to evolve within the ever-changing global climate. Their stories need to be told for their children to remember and value their heritage. Learning from their past to grow with pride, rather than resentment. We are a human race with the same desires: to be loved and show love; to be free from persecution; to be safe in our homes and communities; to be prosperous; to provide security for our family’s future; and to ensure a better tomorrow for all. To a world of labels, South Africa is evaluated on its wealth of gold, diamonds, and landscapes. However, it is the word of ‘Apartheid’ that became its notorious addition to the English dictionary and earned its shame in the world. A world of continents bearing their own burdens of contradictions, religion, and racism. They too share in the guilt of painful deflection, with their own defense of group and belief. After all, isn’t a person’s value and worth based on understanding the past, so that we may appreciate the present? Black, white, mixed or imports, they all play their role in this new nation."
”I am a scatterling of Africa blown far - to plant the seed on foreign continents for others to read." Troy Devine

Christina and young Mark face the battle of their lives as they take on slack officials, duplicitous lawyers, and a scheming widow. As the two unflinching characters pull together their strengths and loyalties and refuse to give in, the reader will cheer them on in the battle of their lives.” Martha Moffett, Author & Editor
