Book Synopsis

Courage to Love in the Shadow of Hate

A Darker Shade of Pale tells of Beryl Crosher-Segers' family and community life in apartheid-era South Africa. With a piercing narrative, she details the injustices, humiliation and challenges she faced under the brutal reign of the National Party.

Through her multi-racial heritage, Beryl was born into a life of inequality and hardship. This is the remarkable story of resilience and courage to power forward toward a better life, to love in the shadow of hate.

A Darker Shade of Pale is a story of hope in the face of despair and of courage when faced with insurmountable obstacles.
