South African author and educator Asanda Hlamandana is opening an important conversation with her debut memoir, "Strong is a Lonely Place", a heartfelt reflection on the emotional burden carried by those who are always expected to be resilient.
Some books entertain, and others make you stop and reflect.
“Strong is a Lonely Place", the debut memoir by South African author Asanda Hlamandana, does exactly that.
It tells a story that many people know all too well but rarely speak about: the emotional weight carried by those who are always expected to be the strong one.
At the heart of the book is Hlamandana's own experience as a firstborn daughter who grew up faster than she should have.
