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.
