The Calling of Katie Makanya: A Memoir of South Africa

This memoir is the story of a black woman, Katie Makanya. Born in 1873, Makanya refused a chance of wealth and fame as a performer to marry and raise a family in her native South Africa. There she lived through the days of apartheid until 1955, triumphing over all hardships and finding her calling as interpreter and assistant to a white doctor named James McCord.
