About This Book
VOICES IN APARTHEID. “Persevering and constantly sowing seeds of hope. That would be the legacy of Felicity Visser. She learnt the secret that ‘people who travel with God never travel alone’. This has been the mainstay of her daily walk. Felicity was born in Pretoria, South Africa and as a child growing up encountered the ugliness of apartheid and its ramifications in daily life. Her book is a fascinating account of her world as she saw it and is packed with short stories, anecdotes and entries from her diary. She opens up her life and invites the reader to share in her hardships, challenges, joys and sorrows. When she was suddenly widowed, Felicity was devastated but moved on. She followed a vision of compassion which she has consistently held on to against all odds as an accomplished author, a talented artist, poet and intrepid adventurer. Like a jigsaw puzzle each chapter is made up of a series of events and each piece is gradually placed until the picture is complete. A unique and different voice precedes each chapter, the first one being Early Voices. Each voice concentrates on a different season of Felicity’s life. Her story demonstrates that amazing things can happen when an individual is willing to give over their life totally to God.” – Pamela Lowrey, Book Reviewer.
