Zelda la Grange recounts the extraordinary story of how her life, beliefs, prejudices—everything she once believed—were utterly transformed by Nelson Mandela, the man she had been taught was the enemy. She writes of her incredible journey of an awkward, terrified young secretary in her twenties who rose from a job in a government typing pool to become one of the president’s most loyal and devoted associates. Drawing a rare intimate portrait of Nelson Mandela, the book depicts the remarkable life as well as moving proof of the power we all have to change. It talks about love and second chances that honor the lasting and inspiring gifts of one of the great men of our time.
