"…by the sudden death of her husband, Ekemma was thrown into the misty abyss of widowhood. The pangs, the pains, the denials, the loneliness and the constant taunting of unfeeling relatives were battles ahead of a widow..."
The greatest battle against Ekemma is to prove that the pregnancy belongs to her late husband, Udo. She faces the courts of public opinion, Ezeani council and that of her conscience.
Who is Eze Ochendo? Why does an unborn child threaten him? And who is Udemba? And how far can his battle go? These questions and more are answered in this poignant and compelling tale, set in a period, preceding the coming of the colonial masters.
