In this memoir Jon van den Heever describes his youth in 1950s Cape Town in South Africa at the time of apartheid, with his World War 2 hero father heading the family and imported American culture playing influential roles in the development of his perceptions. His father’s unlikely conversion to life as a Christian preacher, a family move to the country, his education as a boarder at a privileged high school, the draft into military service and an eye-opening early adulthood all provide life-changing experiences for a sensitive young man. After marrying a farm-girl he finds himself working on a stud cattle farm for his wealthy and conservative father-in-law and raising a family. Although starting off as an ideal lifestyle it ends in divorce and a return for Jon to Cape Town where he follows a lifelong dream to work at a newspaper. This is a time of precarious political developments at the end of apartheid, a demanding adjustment to life at the office and eventually the rewards of work as a travel editor. The cycle is completed as he returns to the country and his ex-wife to get much closer to nature.
