Toe sy in standerd vier was en Kella in standerd drie, is hulle vir die eerste keer op verskillende treine gesit - sy na die kinderhuis in die Vrystaat en Kella na 'n plek vir seuns in die Oos-Kaap. Daardie dag het sy gesweer - sy sal gou grootword sodat sy vir hulle 'n huis kan koop en hulle nooit weer met die trein hoef weggestuur te word nie. Maar dit het Kella nie getroos nie. Hulle moes hom later in die trein tel en sy hande van die reling losmaak. Sy geskree en geskop het mense laat stilstaan om te kyk. "Shame," het 'n vrou gese. "Sy naam is nie Shame nie, sy naam is Kella," het sy gesnip en bygevoeg: "Ek weet, want hy's my boetie."
Nadia Hamman, weggooikind wat deur die Welsynsmense grootgemaak moes word, het daardie dag 'n besluit geneem waarby sy deur al die jare daarna sou bly - om vir haar en haar broer 'n plekkie in die lewe te vind, 'n veilige hawe. Maar wat maak 'n mens as die persoon rondom wie jy jou lewe opgebou het, die dag te veel van jou vra - soveel dat jy begin twyfel of jy enigiets vir hom beteken? In haar wanhoop kan Nadia haar nie eens tot Rex de Waal wend nie, al se Rex ook dat hy vir haar omgee. Want ryk Rex de Waal, die hubaarste vrygesel in die distrik, kom uit 'n vooraanstaande familie. En die lewe het Nadia al geleer dat mense se houding teenoor haar soos handomkeer verander sodra hulle die ware feite van haar lewe hoor.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
