Progeny of the slave era, of questionable background, born in poverty, rejected by his parents - Niklaas Koen mixed fate with a sharp intellect and a pure heart and evolved into a missionary of highest esteem. Only to be discarded and forgotten - dispensed of when his racial background so suited the powers-to-be..... This is an interesting and captivating kaleidoscope of soul-jarring experiences, astounding love and hardship. It depicts the unique life and history of a man who traded his all for his convictions and, in the process, became a chattel of the Berlin Missionary Society, a castaway to a life of immense suffering, loneliness, and challenge in a barren and inhospitable land ravaged by Malaria and savages. It records a time in the history of South Africa when racial discrimination deplored and dishonoured a noble soul.
