Basutoland, 1922. A young boy is stolen from his home in the mountains, stripped of his past, and forced into a life of shadows.

Decades later in Durban, Penrose has built a fragile peace for the family who rely on him. But when a vengeful neighbour uncovers his secret, Penrose must choose: stay hidden and lose himself forever, or stand tall and face the danger he spent a lifetime outrunning.

How much of himself must he sacrifice to keep his family safe?

Based on a true story, Finding Penrose is a journey of quiet courage and the enduring search for belonging.

For readers of powerful humanitarian tales: If you were moved by the resilience in The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, the historical gravity of 12 Years a Slave, or the personal triumph in A Long Walk to Water, you will find a friend in Penrose.
