For Mara, mother of four, sole provider for her family, life has
never been easy. In a community that relies upon traditional magic
to cure AIDS, and blames bad luck upon a bewitching curse, women
carry a heavy burden as the world changes around them. But in
modern Botswana, the tensions are growing as more and more young
people adopt white ways and challenge the heavily divided structure
of African society. For Mara, it is her children's dismissal of all
the ancient magicks that have held families together for
generations; for her son Stan it is the opportunities represented
by his white teachers and the education system; and for daughter
Mosa it is her burgeoning awareness of the inequality of her home,
and community. Together they will develop new strengths and define
new goals, enabling them all to triumph and travel 'far and beyon'.
