Tears Are Not Enough!!

"Death is like a roll call to slumber with no orderly criteria and a kick in the teeth. It doesn't matter who you think you are," Mum used to say.

She was bloody right! 

So, how do I tell Dad to love, honour and respect his wife? 

To the brave, what is the true value of life when the unexpected happens?

Twice, Amara Kash had fallen. 

Twice, she'd gotten back up.

But her return to Lagos would change everything. 

For all concerned, it was only the beginning of a catalogue of unfolding events!

A sombre tale of love, loss, greed, myth and the ultimate resolve of one immigrant to succeed against all odds.
