Publisher's Synopsis
Ma Tata and her husband are worried about the future of their only child, Mona, in the midst of falling morals among young people. When Mona and his friend are bullied and their money seized as they return from school, his parents are upset and conclude that youth delinquency is damaging the fabric of society. As a teacher, Ma Tata takes the lead, inculcating moral values in her son, teaching him the virtue of constant study, acquiring trading skills, and learning farming skills. When a strong economic crisis hit Kibanki, resulting in inflation and job scarcities, the Tatas adopt new ways of increasing the family income. The fear of their son obtaining certificates without any job guarantee compels them to plan a befitting career path for him.
