Publisher's Synopsis
Becoming blind at a tender age and abandoned by his mother at a market place, survival for Ibrahim was through several daunting situations. Life however began to have meaning when Nene came along. Their heartfelt love story shows and proves that love conquers all. The story is also about male chauvinism and the lingering gender prejudices in the traditional African setting. Ibrahim and Nene's story is certainly one to remember as it raises the ever persistent question of why good people die prematurely.
