It is South Africa, 1878. Brought up in a strict Calvinistic society, fourteen year old Jacoba Swanepoel knows little of the world outside of her Boer community and her parents' farm. Expected to marry her childhood sweetheart and live the rest of her life on the family homestead, it seems Jacoba's future is set in stone. But war between the British and the Zulus has devastating consequences, which leave Jacoba homeless and alone, and sets in motion political forces that will change the face of her country forever. From the rolling plains of Zululand to the diamond mines of Kimberly to the Boer War of 1899, Wars of Contrition tells a sweeping tale of one woman's determination and struggle to control her own fate against a backdrop of war, crime, love, and betrayal.
