Mahree Bok lives on a farm in South Africa. Her father is a policeman who can't conceal his pleasure when activist Steve Biko is caught by the South African authorities. Piper Dellums is the daughter of a US congressman from California and who lives in a pleasant dwelling in Washington DC. When Mahree is chosen to spend a semester on the Dellums' home, she would not count on that her host household can be black. Nor do her hosts suspect that she isn't a black South African.
