With a career spanning over 40 years, Marah Louw is counted among South Africa's musical and entertainment industry royalty and has a powerful and memorable story to tell. This book is the reader's front-row ticket to the joys, sadness, triumphs and setbacks that have been part of this legend's life. Even though she is a celebrity, her story aims to show that stars, no matter how bright, are human too. It also delves into her family secrets and her search for truth.

As one of South Africa's most iconic entertainers, Marah has had an illustrious career.

In 1994, she sang at the inauguration of President Nelson Mandela and the Freedom Day Celebrations at the Union Buildings in Pretoria.

In 2001, Marah produced the successful musical concert Surf, which featured top South African artists including Hugh Masekela.
