Thorny kind of Love

Summary

Bellany (Nickname-Bell) Jordan is a 23-year-old young lady that lives in a small town of Franshoek, Cape Town. She finished high school three years ago and never got to go to university or college, not because she didn't want to but because she couldn't afford to, and besides none of the universities here in South Africa offered the courses she had in mind which was Urban planning and landscape.
In the little colored community that she lived all her life, almost everyone's destiny and future were clear, you either drop out of school to work or once you have completed school, get a job and then get married and have children all by the age of 25 years, the men mostly worked on the surrounding farms and the women stayed home looking after the children, very few make it to pursue their careers.
Bellany thought that her life would steer in the same direction, she'll meet a local guy and get married and then be a stay at home mom, never would she have guessed that she would meet someone like Ben Schmidt that was not even from the same continent as her, he was someone who would sweep her off her feet and give her the life she never imagined possible for her, Ben was the man that changed Bellany's views of love, the future, and her destiny.... However...it came with stumbling blocks of pain, sadness, and betrayal.
