ADMISSION: A Story Born of Africa

Secrets haunt Adam Broadford's extraordinary life. The ugly divisions of race, religion, and politics in the early 60's and 70's of Africa gnaws at him. Beauty and brutality are constantly at odds. Happiness and sadness are locked in a dance. Wisdom takes a toll. So much is his fault. Against a richly depicted backdrop with deeply resonating characters there are gifts, wisdom, and murder. In the vital textures of the wild-game collection farm in Northern Rhodesia there is rescue, kindness, and killing. Later, sent to Pretoria, and then to a renown boarding school in South Africa, followed by his serving in border warfare, and while working as a stoker on a steam engine in the Valley of a Thousand Hills, Adam decides to go AWOL. No longer can he take on the consequences of living in Africa.A stowaway aboard a Union Castle ship, his pent-up secrets begin to unlock. But will his admission, at last, set him free?
