Halley is a smart girl growing up poor in Durban. Trying to make ends meet is her mother, Nora, who pares herself to the bone to provide. Halley finds a way to live that¿s more than making do. She finds that a little love and imagination can take you pretty far, and that they certainly help to hold the curious bits and pieces together. Playfully post-modern, this is a story about ordinary, day-to-day life: the bad choices, the conflicts, the random happenstances that can, and do, change destinies.
