In a country where people once struggled for intellectual emancipation, millennials now sell their souls for the next expensive garment or gadget. After 1994, life in the new South African democracy involves a different kind of war. Those who dismantled the unjust regime have left their #bornfree children to build a better life. But the #bornfree and #blessed are not equipped. Those who fought for freedom neglected to educate their offspring about social civilisation and self-worth.
Treasure is a naive dreamer tossed into this unforgiving reality. Intent on supporting herself, she walks out of her dysfunctional family home in Westonaria and straight into the greedy heart of Joburg, disguised as the city of gold and Black Diamonds, to chase the illusion of fame and a happy ending. Living a life of luxury in a society of artificial human beings comes at a hefty price.
Treasure is wooed by a wealthy man who grooms her into a power-hungry machine ... but is the pleasure worth the pain and endless sacrifices? What can she offer a man who has everything but a soul? As her life crumbles around her, can Treasure alter her fate before it's too late?
This inspirational novel is for all those who see only one side to life; it's time to open your eyes to both sides of the coin.
