Like every other child born in the hopelessness of apartheid, he learned to measure his life in days, not years. Yet Mark Mathabane, armed only with the courage of his family and a hard-won education, raised himself up from the squalor and humiliation to win a scholarship to an American university.

In a refreshing departure from traditional third-person biographies, this captivating account unfolds in the first person as the reflections of a retired George Washington. As he looks back on his youth, he shares insights into his family history, education, and early military experiences, culminating at the age of 26 when he held the rank of colonel. While the author creatively fills in certain details, he remains largely faithful to the historical essence and spirit of Washington himself.

Somewhat autobiographical, this "coming of age" novel unfolds an introspective boy's formative years in pre-World War 1 Germany, from grade school through college. Hesse likens this confusing process to a giant bird struggling to break out of its egg (the protective shell of home, family, social norms), to be reborn as an individuated adult with his own goals, ideas and ideals.
