| Publisher Description: John Vigor had it all, a loving family and a good job as a journalist, but in 1987 the South African government began restricting writers in an attempt to clamp down on dissident opinion. The Vigors knew it was time to leave, but to do so meant losing their savings, and travelling to America by boat. |
