Sitting on a bench at Cape Town International Airport, Annie finds herself at a crossroads, deciding between the life she thought she wanted and the life she deserves. Growing up on the Cape Flats she always desired a life of privilege, but in the end that's not what she ended up getting. She starts isolating herself from everything she knows and loves to satisfy the person she believed she loved, and for the life she thought she deserved. She soon starts realising that something is wrong, but is unsure how to reach out to her loved ones. This book takes you on a journey of a young woman who must figure out the path to herself and to God by taking the hard road. She gets to know what prayer is and how to start speaking to God again.

This volume brings together theoretical meditations and empirical studies of the intersection of culture, power and history in social life. Contributors bring a diversity of critical sociological perspectives and subject matters to this important edited book.
