This is the first part of the book, I hope you like it. Leave your discreet honest opinions in the comment section. 😁
Childhood for me wasn't always the best I would say. It was happy but it wasn't the life I had wanted for myself. My father was a poor farmer and my mother was a full house wife. My older brothers were as useless as they can get and my little sister Mellisa was just as idle but her beauty was very magnificent. Too bad though, she had beauty but no brains.
I on the other hand, was always so curious. Looking for adventure everywhere that I went. I got into my share of trouble almost everytime. I wasn't bad looking or even ugly at all... but mother never really cared to make me pretty simply because she regarded me as "mullish", "balky" and even "obstinate".
Truth be told, I was a very let me say determined child but, all I ever did was for my family. They were so narrow minded all they ever wanted me to become was idle. They believed that a girl just has to doll up and look pretty and wait for the man who shall make her his bride. But these men will only marry into their class and we were at the very bottom. How then do they expect me to marry a respectable man? And when your older brothers are useless, someone has got to take up the mantle of responsibility.
Father is not getting any younger and mother is still hoping in vain that Lisa shall be married into a well-off family. I certainly don't see that happening in this moor where there's nothing but poverty. Mother's vain hope would be crushed and I may be killed.
