Is ‘Blood and Water’ Based on a True Story? Netflix Series Explained

In 2019, Zephany applied for the ban restricting the use of her real name (Miché Solomon) to be lifted, and she published a book titled, Zephany: Two mothers. One daughter. An astonishing true story. 

She dedicated the book to both her mothers. 

Zephany struggled to adjust to her new family, and still visits Lavona in prison. She also chose to live with Lavona’s husband, Michael, instead of moving in with her biological parents. 

“I think I hated Zephany in the beginning,” Miché explained. “She came with such force, such an uninvited invitation, so much suffering and so much pain. But Zephany is the truth and Miché, the 17-year-old girl that I was, she was a lie. So I’ve managed to balance both names. You can call me Zephany or Miché, it’s fine.”
