What happens when the baby they buried comes back?<\/em><\/p>\n

Born Karoline King in 1980 in Johannesburg South Africa<\/a>, Sara-Jayne (as she will later be called by her adoptive parents) is the result of an affair, illegal under apartheid\u2019s<\/a> Immorality Act<\/a>, between a white British woman and a black South African man. Her story reveals the shocking lie created to cover up the forbidden relationship and the hurried overseas adoption of the illegitimate baby, born during one of history\u2019s most inhumane and destructive regimes. Killing Karoline<\/em> follows the journey of the baby girl who is raised in a leafy, middle-class corner of the South of England<\/a> by a white couple. Plagued by questions surrounding her own identity and unable to \u2018fit in\u2019 Sara-Jayne begins to turn on herself. She eventually returns to South Africa<\/a>, after 26 years, to face her demons. There she is forced to face issues of identity, race, rejection and belonging beyond that which she could ever have imagined. She must also face her birth family, who in turn must confront what happens when the baby you kill off at a mere six weeks old returns from the dead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
