A Clergyman’s Daughter
In this intimate memoir, Hannah Botsis chronicles life as a minister’s daughter in post-apartheid South Africa. Through the lens of her father’s forty-year ministry at a Presbyterian church in Cape Town’s northern suburbs, she explores faith, family, and racial privilege with unflinching honesty. A meditation on grace and belonging, this story illuminates how communities navigate change while wrestling with their complicated histories.
“This family story resonates in its themes and its truths. A daughter seeks answers from her long-serving pastor father about God’s love in a time of apartheid. She finds answers in garlic polony in his childhood lunchboxes, in his single malts at day’s end, but mostly in asking from her heart.”
– Ufrieda Ho, journalist author of memoir, Paper Sons and DaughtersThe Clergyman’s daughter is that rare find – a memoir that not only digs deep but also interrogates; that asks questions and also answers them. An honest and highly evocative slice of life and South African history.
– A’Eysha Kassiem, author of Suitcase of Memory
