In each grain of sand

By Dane Chung

Born on the streets of Johannesburg and raised by a single and homeless father, Amahle is a twelve-year-old, Zulu boy who must begin a new chapter of an already arduous life, when his father dies.

Amahle is taken in by a couple and travels across the country to a farm in Keimoes to begin anew with no belongings apart from a book of poems. Bright, with exceptional reading abilities, Amahle struggles to find his place at home and at school and more importantly, with who he is and who he is meant to be.

Questioning what it is to be South African, Amahle gets lost in the beautiful and dangerous wild. With the companionship of a loving stray dog and an unlikely friendship with an old recluse, white farmer, Amahle takes up a journey that will teach a nation to never give up.
