But in a country divided by Apartheid! where blacks and whites cannot socialize together! she carries a dangerous secret about her life behind the walls of her well-to-do family home. Ruby's parents break all the rules by allowing a young black artist! Julian! to live covertly and illegally with them. But on the eve of the Soweto riots tragedy strikes! and Ruby's world is turned upside down forever... Zusammenfassung In Ruby Winters' world, colour opens some doors and slams others shut.
