Wat die witbors wou sê (EBOEK)

You never know what you’ll find when you dig up the past ...

After her recent divorce, Louise Rabe is fragile and uncertain about the future. Then her father dies unexpectedly, and everything falls apart. She resigns from her job and moves back in with her mother in Bloubergstrand, where she tries to piece her life back together. She turns to her twin brother, Frans, for support, but he has a farm to run and a family to provide for. Her younger brother, Simon, is all too eager to move on and develop his share of the inherited land. But then the builders uncover the bones of a child, and everything grinds to a halt. Who was the child? Where did he come from? And why was he buried on their land?

The mystery offers Louise a distraction, and she begins searching through her family’s past for answers. But as her search continues, she realises that there is more to discover than she expected.

Wat die witbors wou sê is a lyrical story about families and the history that bind them, the search for a place to call home, and the rediscovery of love when it seemed all but lost.

Jy weet nooit wat vir jou wag as jy die verlede opgrawe nie ...

Na haar onlangse egskeiding is Louise Rabe broos en onseker oor die toekoms. Dan sterf haar pa onverwags en alles stort in duie. Sy bedank haar werk en trek terug in by haar ma in Bloubergstrand, vanwaar sy probeer om die legkaart van haar lewe oor te bou.

Sy soek ondersteuning by haar tweelingbroer Frans, maar dié moet boer en sy eie familie onderhou. Kleinboet Simon is net al te gretig om aan te beweeg en sy stuk erfgrond te ontwikkel. Maar dan grawe die bouers ’n kind se gebeendere op, en alles kom tot stilstand. Wie was die kind? Waar kom hy vandaan? En hoekom is hy op hulle grond begrawe?

Die raaisel bied vir Louise afleiding en sy begin deur die familie se verlede te soek vir antwoorde. Maar wanneer sy begin krap, besef sy daar wag meer vir haar as wat sy kon raai.

Wat die witbors wou sê is ’n liriese verhaal oor families en die verledes wat hulle saamsnoer, die soeke na ’n tuiste en die herontdekking van liefde.
