Plot Summary

In 1977, Piper Dellums is a Black girl who lives in Washington, D.C. with her father, Congressman Ron Dellums, an outspoken opponent of the South African apartheid system, her mother Roscoe Dellums, and two younger twin brothers, Brandon and Erik. Piper, who has been taking an interest in the different nations of Africa, begs her parents to host an African exchange student.

Main Characters

Meanwhile, in South Africa, Mahree Bok is a white South African who lives in a manor house with her parents and little brother Rian. They comfortably benefit from the system of apartheid without questioning its morality; Mahree’s father, Pieter Bok, is a South African policeman who cannot hide his joy when Stephen Biko (a Black South African man fighting against apartheid) has just been captured.

Flora is a kindly woman who is friendly with the Bok children. Flora tells Mahree about racial harmony using the weaver bird as a metaphor. Mahree gets an opportunity to study in America, granted by her father.

Meeting and Cultural Shock

Upon meeting each other, both Mahree and Piper have ill-informed ideas about each other’s countries. Mahree reacts with horror when she realizes her host family is Black, while Piper is surprised to host a white South African. Eventually, they develop a close friendship despite initial misunderstandings.

Understanding and Conflict

During Mahree’s stay, she learns about racial harmony and the true impact of apartheid. When Stephen Biko dies, tensions rise, leading to a conflict where Mahree finally understands the injustice of apartheid. Through conversations and experiences, Mahree and Piper reconcile and grow as individuals.

Conclusion

In the end, Mahree leaves the United States a changed person, embracing the cause of Black liberation in South Africa. With a new perspective, she returns home and shows her support for the movement, symbolized by an ANC flag sewn inside her coat.
