Sneak Peek: The Vase with the Many Coloured Marbles

Today we get a sneak peek at author Jacob Singer’s story, The VASE with the MANY COLOURED MARBLES.

Emily Kleintjies was born into the Cape Coloured community in District Six of South Africa. South Africa was a country that classified all citizens that were not European (White) as second class citizens, with restrictions as to how they may live.

With the election of the National Party as the ruling party in 1948, apartheid came into full force. This dramatic story tells how Emily jumped the racial barrier, establishing a life for herself in Johannesburg. How she changed her name to Emma Kline, and became a WHITE.

The VASE with the MANY COLOURED MARBLES is available on Amazon.com and other online bookstores. Continue reading “Sneak Peek: The Vase with the Many Coloured Marbles”
