Tears in the rain

Tears in the Rain makes an engaging read, detailing the powerful and captivating story of a woman of indomitable spirit. The author takes us on a tour – sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant – sharing with us her life experiences; from the escapades of a rather adventurous young girl to the suffering but undaunted teenager, the determined and highly principled young woman, her whirlwind courtship to the multi-tasking and work-life juggler. You come out of the experience with a feeling of “Wow! what a life!”  Not only is the book very motivating, laced through it are reminders of some of the African cultural values that civilisation seems to have eroded – the close-knit extended family system, community life, discipline, family honour, respect, dignity and many more.

The younger generation will definitely find very sound life lessons to garner from this book.
