A Child Called Happiness

Three days after arriving in Zimbabwe, Natalie discovers an abandoned newborn baby on a hill near her uncle’s farm. 115 years earlier, the hill was home to the Mazowe village where Chief Tafara governed at a time of great unrest. Faced with taxation, abductions, and loss of their land at the hands of the white settlers, Tafara joined forces with the neighboring villages in what becomes the first of many uprisings. A Child Called Happiness is a story of hope, resilience, and reclamation, proving that the choices made by our ancestors echo for many generations to come.
