Finding Penrose
Lost in a world without identity, will Penrose reclaim his past before the shadows seal his fate?
Lost in a world without identity, will Penrose reclaim his past before the shadows seal his fate?
Basutoland, 1922: A brutal attack. A merciless enemy. A young boy risks everything to save his father and is stolen into slavery, stripped of his past.
Years later, Penrose escapes with nothing but his name and finds work in Johannesburg. Yet in South Africa, every day brings the risk of discovery.
Penrose builds a life in the shadows, his quiet courage becoming the anchor for a family who needs him—and he, them.
When a vengeful neighbour uncovers his secret, the fragile world Penrose has built shatters.
The past he buried comes roaring back, forcing an impossible choice: stay hidden and lose himself forever, or stand tall and invite the very danger he spent a lifetime outrunning.
Will he finally become free?
Based on a true story as powerful as 12 Years a Slave and Best of Enemies, and as inspiring as The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind and A Long Walk to Water, this humanitarian tale of courage, identity, and belonging is a must-read.
