The Nexus of Life
Executive consultant Christine Watt is determined to advance her career at all costs. Born on a smallholding on the South African West Coast, she plies her trade in the Cape Town city centre.
Confident and dynamic, Chris is manipulative and hungry for success and finds justification in the deceitful world of business espionage. Feeding her indulgence to win regardless of the consequences, the allure of attention draws her into a vortex of deceit until ultimately expended.
As the guillotine falls, the real picture unfolds and Chris goes to ground.
The pulse of the story slows in the everyday struggle of change. Previously discarded support unexpectedly comes in the form of family and a colleague, but she struggles with an inability to reflect on the narrative of her life. Morbidly depressed, she rejects any form of assistance.
Is it possible to pick up the pieces? Can those who love her save her from self-destruction? Is it too late for Chris or can anyone reach into the darkness of her soul?
The Nexus of Life carries a Christian theme, combining the love of God with the love of nature and throughout, the golden thread is acceptance.
I just loved the clarity and feel of the book. It resonated with me. Truly Exceptional.

About The Author
Anita Fredericks
Anita Fredericks lives in Cape Town and her leisurely pleasure is to be in nature. A widow at 40 she navigated raising two teenage sons to adulthood and now has a grandson. Taking up an offer of a restructuring package, she exited corporate life in the position as Regional Sales (Section) Manager in the Home Loans division after a twenty-seven-year career in banking. Having freed up time to pursue her interest in hiking, two years later she summitted Kilimanjaro at age 46. An exhilarating experience, the trip concluded in a visit to the Serengeti National Park. Initially parking the High-altitude experience as a once off adventure, the hiatus lasted 4 years where after she completed the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. Steeped in history with the most beautiful vistas, the trip included a few days in the Amazon Jungle. Thereafter, in successive years, she completed the Everest Base Camp hike, being one of the first to return to the mountain after the devastating earth quake in 2015. The diversity of the different hiking trails is what holds her interest and locally, beyond exploring the Table Mountain and Helderberg Mountain ranges, she completed several other hikes in the Cedarberg and Overberg regions. Further afield hikes included Wild Coast (Port St Johns to Coffee Bay), used in training for Everest Base Camp; Drakensberg to Mafadi, followed by a much-loved road trip via the exquisite Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces to visit Kruger National Park and The Leopard Trail in Baviaanskloof, as a post lockdown adventure. She served in church leadership for a period of four years and battles the most fulfilling and spiritually rewarding practice of Contemplative Prayer.
