Love and Chaos

Chapter One was the night she walked into my life.

But Chapter Two is the story of the life she had already lived before she reached my door, and before I ever had the right to think of her as mine. It is the story of a girl born in Kismayo, motherless too soon, raised by sisters carrying burdens of their own, displaced into Kenya by war, and married off at sixteen because the adults around her saw marriage as relief. Not love. Relief.
