Lutendo is left in the hands of Makhadzi, her neighbour in the dusty streets of Budeli Village. The turbine wheels in the middle of the night at Fumba Gold Mine up the mountain often give her good sleeps whenever she feels lonely. If not a radio on the table, it is the book’s beside her that bring different worlds for her attention. Most u accomplished dreams are in the cemetery due to sacrifices those men and women made for their remaining loved ones.
Mrs. Khomo is her role model in all aspects until one day Lutendo discovers the secret behind her divorce. Takalani, a son-in-law to Makhadzi, falls in love with the lady assistant Refiloe who turns everything gold in the shop. Zefania, a black lawyer to-be, misinterprets the lecturer’s intention in the streets of Bisho. The freedom-is-coming songs are not only heard on the radio but residents are also excited about running water and electricity. Nick, a missionary-German, is always protected by the two beautiful hearts: Dumisile and Ntombifuthi in the hills of Swaziland. The secret box Lutendo finds in her late parents’ bedroom demands her to trace her roots. As a church girl and part of the first group of women to grab opportunities in the new South Africa, she remains patient despite her peers having progressed further than her.
