Echoes of My Father

For as long as she can remember, Sihle’s father has been nothing more than a ghost—a man who walked out of her life ten years ago and never came back. Her mother refuses to talk about him, brushing off every question as if he never mattered. But whe she was on her way to school her friends suggested tha she should look for her father, the only question she had in her mind were ,Why does no one talk about him? Why does her mother react so strongly every time she asks?



That night, curiosity turns into determination. Sihle searches through her mother’s old belongings, desperate for a clue. At first, she finds nothing. But then—a piece of paper. A letter from her fatherto her mom. She hides it away, knowing her mother will be furious if she finds out.
