This book chronicles Ashwin Willemse's life and sports journey. Born into impoverished conditions by a teenage mother, an absent father and believing that acceptance and belonging was only found in the brotherhood of a gang, he shares some of the spine-chilling hardships that he had to endure. Despite all of this, he rose to the highest level that professional rugby has to offer, representing South Africa in two Rugby World Cup tournaments and awarded all major rugby awards - including Player of the Year - in his Springbok debut season in 2003. Ashwin's story takes us into a gripping world of a tug-of-war between light and darkness. It helps us understand how a young insecure boy rejected not just by a cruel world but also by his own father, could turn into one of South Africa's most loved rugby heroes.
