"I dreamed white dreams that never came true for me." - Peggy Kurka was born in 1969 in East Germany. Her mother had a brief relationship with a young student from Guinea and put her child up for adoption immediately after birth. Thus, Peggy becomes part of a deeply racist, brutal family and learns from a young age what it means to be an outsider. There are no role models or a community, and Peggy struggles with her self-image. It is only many years later that she succeeds in reclaiming the authority over her identity. In her book, she shares her daring journey.
