At seventeen, Nkanyiso’s world is shattered. His mother is gone, his father denied him for years, until her last wish changes everything. From the quiet shores of the Western Cape to the bustling streets of Johannesburg, Nkanyiso is thrust into a life he never chose, with a man who once refused to be his father.

In a journey carved by grief, unexpected love, and the strength of friendship, Nkanyiso will learn that life doesn’t come with guarantees, only choices. And sometimes, those choices lead to the sweetest discoveries.

Chocolate & Vanilla is a poignant tale of change, resilience, and finding love where you least expect it.
