Felisha Karen Jones is a mother of three beautiful and talented children. Married for over 19.6 years to the same man and doing the same routine over and over again starts to make her perspective on life dull then meaningless. Needing a vacation from her mundane life she embarks on a journey to rediscover herself away from the titles of being only a mother and a wife. Tired of giving of herself she becomes depleted and needed to be refilled on the inside. Desperately wanting to know who she is outside of her family. Will she truly find herself? How long will that take exactly? If or when she does, will she want to go back to the way things have been? Or will Felisha decide to take a permanent vacation in order to be free? Can the cost of living for herself risk the absence of a man and his children needing her?

Beyond Gold and Diamonds demonstrates the importance of southern Africa to British literature from the 1880s to the 1920s, from the rise of the systematic exploitation of the region's mineral wealth to the aftermath of World War I. It focuses on fiction by the colonial-born Olive Schreiner, southern Africa's first literary celebrity, as well as by H. Rider Haggard, Gertrude Page, and John Buchan, its most influential authorial informants, British authors who spent significant time in the region and wrote about it as insiders. Tracing the ways in which generic innovation enabled these writers to negotiate cultural and political concerns through a uniquely British South African lens, Melissa Free argues that British South African literature constitutes a distinct field, one that overlaps with but also exists apart from both a national South African literary tradition and a tradition of South African literature in English. The various genres that British South African novelists introduced—the New Woman novel, the female colonial romance, the Rhodesian settler romance, and the modern spy thriller—anticipated metropolitan literary developments while consolidating Britain's sense of its own dominion in a time of increasing opposition.
