An Apricot Tree in Africa Sylvia Schwarzkopf

Every life has a story; a story with many "ifs" and many "buts." The story of Cynthia's life also has many ifs and buts. Cynthia's life is a puzzle of relationships, with the central piece missing: her relationship with herself. From the 1950's in South Africa, to the 1980's in Israel, Cynthia searches for her own story. She observes human strength and human frailty; misplaced ideals and life's sometimes cruel coincidences. Cynthia tells her story with unashamed truth, allowing you to hurt as well as to rejoice with her. You will question her decisions and judge her life, while thinking of your own life and seeing how we are all influenced by our childhood relationships, to the extent that they can dictate our future.
