Here's what we read this week.
Miracle Girl: Life Stories from a Xhosa Girl ***Vovo's story is that of an ordinary girl who has endured extraordinary challenges and emerged victorious.
Orphaned at 13, having grown up in poverty near Port Elizabeth, she is diagnosed with a rare heart condition leading to open-heart surgery. Her book is filled with raw emotion, but there's humour as well in her cultural"did you know" bits, which make for interesting conversation starters next time you're in the company of Xhosa people.
