But the teacher -- the one with real wisdom and understanding about life - is the little boy, not the journalist. And, finally, it’s about a love story of Gail Johnson, Nkosi’s white mother who does her best to save the boy, and their love of each other. When reading the book, I felt touched from time to time.
