Jennifer B. Graham
An Immoral Proposal: Forbidden Love Under Apartheid
Shulemite Publishing 2013
You are not ‘white’; you not black’. Where do you belong?
Your parents leave you for your grandparents to raise. Where do you belong?
Your culture bans you from certain jobs and forces you to live in ‘ghettoes’ not of your choosing. Where do you belong?
This was an overriding question for Jennifer Graham under the brutal Apartheid laws of South Africa where improper contact with a class other than your own could land you in jail—or worse.
And then, you fall in love. Where do you belong?
Jennifer Graham has written this moving memoir of her life under the regime of South African apartheid. Told in a matter-of-fact style, it nevertheless conveys the horrors and sadness she experience in her young life. We cringe with her at some of the actions of the people around her and rejoice with her in her triumphs. And throughout it all, we marvel with Jennifer, at God’s faithfulness.
