SHORT STORY

Can she open herself to a new man? Can she have a second chance at love?

Emma, reeling from a recent divorce, trying to find herself after years of identifying as "mom" or "wife," decides to take action. She signs up for a dating site and tells her friends she is on the prowl. One friend has an option for her -- a date with a sexy, dark-haired model. A night in paradise on Earth.

The problem? This is her first time back after nearly twenty years of marriage to one man. Can she bring herself to be intimate with a new man -- can she get "over the hump"?

As she drives to the hotel to meet this stranger, doubts about who she is, how she looks, and if she can be with another man, plague her.

Can she let go and succumb to the wiles of this hot date?

Book Recommendation! 

 

Memoirs of a Play-White is a vivid and detailed story focusing on one young woman’s life during the time of Apartheid in South Africa.  The memoir opens with a descriptive narrative of the setting at that time, dilapidated housing, low employment, and the issues of social norms for those who fall in between the status quo of White and Black.  The main character of Louiesa is an innocent, likable girl trying to find her place in this strange world. Over the course of her life, she learns that skin color plays an active role in her life with regards to where she can live and work.  

The story opens with her mother who gave birth to her first child at age 13. Louiesa was born later in her mother’s life, her father unknown. As the daughter of a now-alcoholic Louiesa herself is a smart child, eager to learn and go to school.  She proves to be an industrious girl, who, along with her mother, finds housing with indoor plumbing, clothes for school, and opportunities such as a helicopter ride and a good job at a bank.  However, she also learns that she got the job because of her lighter skin color, highlighting the issues of race and color at the center of Apartheid issues of South Africa

I particularly liked the detail about the history of that time.  As an American reader, I am not deeply familiar with life under Apartheid, and this story is a window into a completely different world. Especially interesting to me was how limited they were with regards to technology we in the Western world take for granted, like access to a TV or radio in the 1970s.  

Overall, Mynhardt’s memoir engages readers, taking them on an emotional, harrowing journey as they read. I look forward to reading the second in the series.

Day Two of Writer's October:  Books and Flowers! 
Here is something I put together - I love combining floral backgrounds with text from my novels. The image adds to the setting of the book, I think!
