A true life story of a journey that started in midst of Apartheid. A victim of covert and systemic racism. Deported, bullied and ridiculed.
Did this misfit withstand the test of time and overcome these wounds?

A very touching life story of the subliminal and direct racism of the 80s and 90s in Austria, and an example of how someone can grow beyond themselves in spite of experiencing hostility and intentional pitfalls.

Memoirs are usually a hit or miss for me. This one was very informative and enjoyable. Precious AKA Sandy was born in South Africa to an African mother and German Father. Having to be hidden originally, especially since she had more of her father's features, tells us the story from her parents meeting, the suffering her family endured, as well as some of the tragedies they suffered. Other than the ending seeming to end abruptly, I thought it was a very well written and interesting story. She also recalled a lot of the racist remarks she received, and not just from strangers. The author did a pretty good job with the book.

"Walking in My Skin" is a rather interesting apartheid era memoir by Precious Tuitz. She did a wonderful job of relaying her life story and the trials her family faced under the racist apartheid and the laws passed in the time.
