A new book on the shelves, Threads of Broken Bonds, is an interesting read authored by Tebogo Nyathi.

Threads of Broken Bonds is a memoir of Nyathi’s tumultuous life journey where fabrics of intimacy in her life were abruptly broken one after the other; at the hands of ruptured trust, loss of life, and even intricate threads having weakened over time.
