South Africa looms before thousands of refugees from across all Africa as the land of milk and honey. They flee conflict and hardship, they leave behind home and loved ones – only to face the harsh realities of living in a foreign, sometimes hostile country. Their longing to be reunited with their families brings them to the doors of the South African Red Cross Society. Of Loss, Hope and Healing is the account of a woman who reconnects displaced family members as part of the Red Cross Restoring of Family Links programme. The true stories in this book offer an insight into the ability of individuals to survive despite heartbreaking odds. Little wonder then that such a working environment would uncover in the author, too, a history of emotional displacement. Interwoven with the bigger story of African diaspora is her own story as she confronts her own, troubled relationship with family in this honest and moving account of human triumphs over inhuman adversity.
