Why, Mother...
In this poignant coming-of-age novel, a young girl yearns for freedom from the suffocating grasp of her overprotective mother. Her home, though filled with love, feels like a cage where every choice is made for her, and every dream is overshadowed by her mother's expectations. Desperate for a life of her own, she grapples with the emotional tug-of-war between the desire for independence and the fear of losing the only family she has ever known.
As she battles to break free, she uncovers buried truths about her mother's past, and slowly begins to understand the complex web of love, fear, and control that binds them together. But will that understanding bring them closer, or will she have to walk away for good to reclaim her life?
A powerful tale of family, freedom, and self-discovery, Why, Mother... explores the bittersweet journey of growing up and the cost of finding your own path.
With a dysfunctional family background, a nurse pursuing her career in the capital thinks she can evade ordinary realities of the past and present. History wants to repeat itself but Destiny doesn't want to be part of the cycle. She's living her dream as a loner but,... she's on the brink of losing that because according to her fore family, her lifestyle is invalid. They want her to get married and have a normal family, a thought she's abandoned after much reflection. Amidst her struggles to maintain her status as an unmarried and childfree woman, she gets infected with an odd idea that she keeps to herself and a few supportive friends. She knows the risks of her accumulative secrets but her hands are tied and she has one option left to save her dignity.
