Modern and free, Deka Kollo has been away from the farm and the old life for so long. After losing her father at a young age, she buried herself in her demanding studies and is now about to become the first medical doctor in the Kollo family. Except for the long line of ethnic doctors and occasional mid-wives, Deka has nothing in common with her father’s family or their deep-seated traditions. Her fanatical Uncle Jassie disregarded she and her mother, as he saw them as unsuitable for his proud Kollo heritage.
The family’s long-standing custom of excluding women from their practices only served to alienate Deka more. As such, she has no yearning to be a part of their ancient creepy customs or any narrow-minded onuses that have been passed down for generations. Her only interest in her future is to invest in rational and sensible modern medicine. The minute she qualifies, she is going to relocate to Johannesburg and start her own practice.
Everything is picture perfect until out of the blue her steadfast uncle pops up and personally invites Deka to an initiation ceremony at the Kollo farm. What is meant to be an ideal break from her demanding internship at Edenberg Hospital, turns out to be so much more!
True Self is a thrilling supernatural suspense novel that will keep you hooked from start to end.
