Bøker av Abby Plaatjes

Abby's quirky, sometimes serious, often heartwarming memoir scrutinizes the world of men and its impact on her life. From a media controversy to a successful media career throughout Africa as a radio and TV host, events producer and nightclub owner, Abby certainly has some stories to tell. Systemically classified as colored, Abby grew up in a tight-knit family that balanced fighting the overtly oppressive South African Apartheid government and maintaining a joyous home where her parents taught her and her brother about living with morals and integrity. They'd often need to balance their strong-willed daughter's outrageous comments with keeping good standing in the colored community. Abby's inquisitive mind and boisterous personality have sometimes led her close to the immoral path, but she lives her life intentionally, owning her heritage, challenging the patriarchy and encountering some fascinating men along the way.The lessons she learnt from her two heroes, her foul - mouthed father and her tumultuously genius brother, have helped Abby resolve the ever - burning need to understand the men in her life and to understand herself.
