Hannah Botsis wrties about her life as a minister’s daughter in post-apartheid South Africa, exploring faith, family, racial privilege, and how communities navigate change while wrestling with their complicated histories.

"A 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
