Bitter The Trust, Sweeter The Lies

Blood never washes clean.  Nurse Nnuse Sera has spent decades holding Soshanguve together with cracked hands and exhausted compassion. But when a wounded stranger begs her to hide him-claiming police corruption runs from taxi ranks to government corridors-she makes one choice that shatters her fragile balance. Overnight, the clinic becomes a hunting ground, her children targets, and every patient a possible informant.
Evidence of a vast criminal network lies three hours away in a Klerksdorp storage unit. To reach it, Nnuse must risk her career, her family, and her life. In a city where truth is lethal and survival is never guaranteed, one nurse discovers the cost of kindness may be everything she loves.
