This novel speaks about an Original African tradition that often is practiced in most African homes but stands as a taboo to a western ideology especially in this modern-day Civilisation and Freedom of human Rights. In Africa, the male Child is usually regarded as the main inheritance in a family. In this novel, the author has simplified this persisting plaque suffered by women where a married woman is expected to have a child, and in a situation where this isn't possible for example, in a situation where the wife is barren, the husband is expected to marry another woman in replacement and as a Compensation for what the first wife could not achieve. Moreover, there are all sorts of other dramas as would be traumas which surrounded this woman named ''Oby'' in this novel, which prompted so many eyebrows rating high as to why she could not afford to be pregnant. The haunting elements which surround her stories couldn't have been made any easier, in an attempt to satisfy the parents' inlaws in order to win their love and affection in accepting her into the family. It was tough, and immensely and unspeakably excruciating what she was made to go through. Typical African family settings pivoted to a nutshell of a bombshell which later exploded to Open up forensic doubts on how she was going to Overcome many of these unprecedented nightmares. Was it really a dream, a tradition, or perhaps a hallucination. This novel will give you goose-pimples, very emotional and touching which would inevitably send ''thinking through'' to your mind of minds. She suffered horrifying bondage for many years and wept bitterly in her privacy. She had nothing else to hold on to, apart from her growing faith. A well-written novel as it happened as if you are actually watching a night movie in a Cinema. You find out for yourself.
