520 1 $a"David Houze was twenty-six and living in a single room occupancy hotel in Atlanta when his mother admitted that three little girls in an old photo he'd seen years earlier were his sisters. The girls had been left behind in South Africa when Houze and his mother left the country in 1966, at the height of apartheid, to start a new life in Meridian, Mississippi, with Houze's American father. This revelation triggered a journey of self-discovery and reconnection that ranged from the dirt roads of Mississippi to the shores of South Africa - and back. This deeply personal narrative uses Houze's unraveling of his family mystery and his quest for identity as a prism through which to view both the civil rights movement in Mississippi and the rise and fall of apartheid in South Africa. Twilight People is a memoir that grapples with issues of family, love, abandonment, and, ultimately, forgiveness and reconciliation. It is also a detective story steeped in the racial politics and tumultuous histories of two countries."--BOOK JACKET.
