Imagine that your mother tells you she's going away. She is going to leave you with relatives you've never heard of - and they are members of a strict religious cult. You don't know where your mother is, and you are beginning to question your own identity. ‘I am not Esther’ is a gripping novel written by New Zealand author Fleur Beale. A lesson to be learned from this novel is to be who you are. Nobody can tell you or make you do anything. No matter what the situation, you control every move you make, you can control the outcome.
