Description
Years ago, Be and her mother left the peaceful world of their people--the Namibian Bushmen--to work on a white man's plantation. Spending time with her grandfather and learning how to read helped her forget how much she missed her clan. But now that Namibia is on the verge of freedom, Be is beginning to remember--and ask questions. Why does her grandfather refuse the chance to speak for their people? Of what or whom is her mother so afraid? And what is Be's own part in it all?
