Set in a small mining town around the abandoned St Helena gold mine, Heart Of Gold is a story about young Pikkie Snyman’s journey of heartache and triumph, and how this led to the most memorable Christmas of his life. As his father lies dying in hospital, desperately in need of a heart transplant, Pikkie and his friends are getting ready for the community’s nativity play. His simple understanding of the meaning behind the gifts that the three wise men brought to Jesus leads them on a quest to find a cure for his father – a quest filled with adventure, heartache and joy.
