Ripped By Nyangoto Okuro
The perilous environment surrounding Sandra put her between a rock and a hard place. Aiden too navigates through puzzling circumstances trying to save Sandra who was running from predicaments that unsympathetically never seemed to give her space to breathe.
Even after an accident and Aiden’s leg is amputated-he didn’t lose hope; he optimistically went after Sandra just to bring her back home, to dry her tears, tears that he made her shed; he was in love. At last, Sandra, Aiden and Eleanor Agnes Odin-Aiden’s mother, found peace, love and acceptance.
They then swore never to run away but rather face the vicious world and it’s nefariousness with courage and presumptuousness. A new life begins when Sandra and Aden get a fruit of their loins-Grace.
