Descriere & specificații

Description 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.
