Citrus Hues: Can fate preclude destiny? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781923214552)

Rows of citrus trees laden with colourful fruit create the perfect playground for Janco and Naledi, two young children who are inseparable friends, setting the stage for this gripping and grounded coming of age story. Piet, Janco's father and the owner of the South African citrus estate, does not want his son mingling with the farm workers' children. Piet's upbringing and deeply ingrained prejudice lead him to make it clear that a lion and a zebra do not drink from the same waterhole. But over the years, the children's friendship blossoms into forbidden romance. Janco explains to Naledi that every snowflake is unique and destined to fall where it is meant to: they are meant to be together. Can fate preclude destiny? A series of events changes everything. Naledi ends up far away in Australia, a land filled with opportunities and new connections. She refuses to let her past shackle her and is determined to live her life to the fullest. Along the way, she learns that sometimes decisions are taken away from you, but you need to keep moving forward in life to discover what can be. And the choices you make and the chances you take will lead you in the direction in which you need to go.
