Some futures are given. Zee will have to play for hers.
Cape Town, 2003. Fifteen-year-old Ziyanda Zee Mkentane has her father's golf swing, her mother's stubbornness and a talent far larger than the strip of salvaged carpet where she learned to play.
When Esihle dies, Zee is left with an unfinished notebook, a grieving father and a promise to keep swinging. Around her, other children are being failed by the same country that expects them to wait quietly for change. Across the fairway, Chris-a gifted junior golfer born into wealth-sees Zee first as a rival and then as something neither of them is ready to name. But his family's world carries dangers reaching far beyond the course.
As Zee plays her way from Cape Town's black townships towards Fancourt and the possibility of America, every step forward tests the people who raised her and the loyalties she thought would hold.
DRIVEN - ZEE TEES OFF is a sweeping novel of grief, inheritance and defiance-and of a girl learning that talent may open a door, but courage is what carries her through it.
