This is a short story of a young woman's struggle against tradition, culture and supertitous beliefs on her journey to attain motherhood. The story is a non - fiction and mirrors what still obtains in a number of African societies. It is hoped to entertain as well as expose some inherent ills.

There is love... But... Does it persist, when you realize that you cannot accomplish all your dreams, because the person you married is poor? What to do? Marry only rich people?

This seems to be among the common thing happening in today's world. But we need to understand the positive and negative aspects of it.

India has a long history of perpetuating the subordinate position of women. A woman there is known to first be a daughter to her father, then a sister to her brother, then wife to her husband, then a mother to her son, then a widow to her dead husband. In every role she plays, she is always at the mercy of a male. The Indian way of life encourages arranged marriages and a dowry system where girls have no say on who they marry and are in danger of being killed so their husbands can remarry. Some areas even encourage SATI, a practice at her husband’s funeral.

Infidelity or a cheating spouse is one of the top reasons for failed marriages and broken homes.  Dealing with it is painful and tough.
