This is a book about the power of love over all else. Both Danai and Fadzai are first-born children and expectations were understandably very high. The central message here is that parents need to impart all they believe their offspring need to get and this needs to be during the formative years. Young adults are subjected to societal influences that may not be in line with what the parents have in mind. Life lessons must be given but respect of the young mind is critical to maintain balance. Most parents find that they are busy with the day-to-day life demands, to the extent that their offspring are left to find their ways. Outside influences end up shaping the young minds.
In this true story the challenge came when the two young adults fell in love and decided to marry. Their love was stronger than all efforts to separate them.
