The Playground and the Choices We Make

They say life is about choices.

But what happens when your story begins with choices that were made long before you arrived?

Born into a complicated family history and raised on lessons she never asked for, a young woman spends her life searching for love in all the wrong places. As relationships come and go, she begins to wonder whether she is making her own choices or simply repeating patterns inherited from the people who came before her.

Set against the backdrop of KwaZulu-Natal, The Playground and the Choices We Make is a reflective story about family, love, betrayal, longing, and the quiet ways our past continues to shape our future.

Because sometimes the hardest choices are the ones we never realised were ours to make.
