I think it is a daughter, Rachel.

It contains a reference to Powers being jailed and tortured by Idi Amin [correction: Milton Obote]. I read a story like this in Granta in the 80s. Could it be the same event?

Perhaps not. Instead, it is documented in “Inside a Ugandan Prison, a Nightmare Comes to Life” appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer on May 23, 1982. But I couldn't find it online.
