Description
Sometimes life serves us lemons. Its easier to get bitter and resentful when things do not go our way. But sometimes life takes us the long way round before we come full circle to where we belong, where we should have landed in the first place. Following the death of their father, Paida, her brother Tawanda and their mother find themselves under the guardianship and custody of the Babamukuru, their father's older brother, as is done according to the cultural customs of their people. The only person who would be unscathed by this arrangement would be Tawanda, since he was a boy and considered to be the male figure that will soon be the head of the family, once he comes of age. Upon learning that Babamukuru was arranging for Paida to marry the Village Sabuku as a way of paying off an outstanding debt, her mother, Mai Paida, with the help of her firends, creatively finds a way for Paida to flee this arrangement and go abroad. Unfortunately, in an attempt to save her daughter from the looming doom, Mai Paida also unknowingly becomes the cause for Paida's broken heart.
