Poppie's contented childhood ends when she marries a migrant worker and moves to the alarming world of Cape Town. No sooner has she established her roots there than the authorities want her and her children to go to the Ciskei, her husband's homeland. He, as a laborer, may stay.

For ten years Poppie resists the pass laws--which lie at the heart of South Africa's legally enforced policy of racial separation, or apartheid--winning limited extensions to her permit to remain in the Cape. The day comes, however, when she is forced to resettle in a raw, remote township.
