About the book:

Nandi Nxumalo and Femi Adewoye are in love. But although the ladies at Nandi's favourite hair salon drool over her handsome Nigerian boyfriend who has his own auto repair shop, she is forced to hide her relationship from her xenophobic father who will never allow his Zulu daughter to date a 'foreigner'. When xenophobic attacks break out all over the country, Nandi and Femi do not escape unaffected. Nandi feels she has to do something - she can no longer be silent.
