    About this ebook

    An extraordinary story of cultural confusion and the long way home to a black girl’s emotional
    roots. David Robbins

    The Rosie Motene story is about a young girl born to the Bafokeng nation during the apartheid era
    in South Africa. At the time, Rosie’s mother worked for a white Jewish family in Johannesburg who
    offered to raise the child as one of their own. This generous gesture by the family created many
    opportunities for Rosie but also a trail of sacrifices for her parents. As she grew, Rosie struggled to
    and her true identity. She had access to the best of everything but as a black girl she floundered
    without her own culture or language. This book describes Rosie’s journey through her fog of
    alienation to the belated dawning of her self-discovery as an African.
