Culture. Family. Heartbreaking. Love. This book captures your soul. The love and commitment of a parent, the desperation following heartbreak and the survival of blood ties with the cultural differences that can provoke emotions and actions affecting generations.
Simplistic yet enigmatic language captivates the audience and draws the reader into its enticing web.
