Soweto Burning

In the 1950s a routine underground inspection in a gold mine turns into a horrifying experience for a South African mining engineer. In the 1970s a young woman decides to hike the Fish River Canyon in Namibia; and an American Catholic priest journeys to Soweto to care for abused women and children. Part factual history, part fictional novel, Soweto Burning portrays the parallel journey of a family and a country as the 1976 Soweto Riots rocked the world.
