Blurb

What do you say when your people are murdered? What do you do when police officers drag their feet and the names of your parents-in-law appear on a victim memorial wall? How do a church minister respond to the easy words and slight warnings, the church’s silence and the absence of his colleagues? Forgiveness grows in raw places, the writer discovers. And cleaners may be disguised angels.   

Gerhard Pietersen’s debut is a true story with unforgettable characters. It reads like gripping fiction, packed with humour and bitter irony. It explores the journey of people staggering under loss, searching for God in a violent landscape.  

“As a journalist I reported on the court case after the brutal farm murder of the Human couple from Great Brak River. Their son-in-law writes with raw honesty about the echoes that refuse to be silenced and wounds that do not stop bleeding. Stirring. Poignant.

–         “ Susan Puren, freelance journalist, TV director.  

“This book arrives just in time. It is what we need.”     

–           Carla van der Spuy, writer, journalist.
