Angry love - Memoirs of a fellow Seeker for a Better Country is the autobiographic recollection of an exceptional life journey. Jenni Kirby grew up in Apartheid South Africa. As young Coloured girl she had been adversely impacted by Apartheid; she vividly recalls profound experiences. She angrily joined the Struggle. During the 1970s she met a fellow white activist and they fell in love. The young couple experienced rejection from all sides; it had still been against the law to be in relationship across the colour bar. They eventually found themselves exiles in Britain, but there they encountered new challenges. In the UK Jenni entered into the ministry as a Methodist minister, but she could never detach from her mother country. These memoirs are about her pilgrimage in seeking a better country, it is about relationships and being connected, about identity and rejection, the struggle between anger and love, and about the inner journey towards grace. It is a remarkable story, captivating and brilliantly written.
