ABOUT
THE BOOK
Beyond the Trial is a collection of
three short stories. The first story, Erased Reproach, is the story of young
love and ruthless heartbreak. Funke, a teenager at the beginning of the story,
gives in to peer pressure and ends up with an unwanted pregnancy which leads
her into forced exile from her childhood home. In Rude Awakening, Nkechi's
eutopic word is brought to a rude halt when her husband of eleven years dies
suddenly in a car accident. She must face a chequered future alone with three
sons. A family's past is hunting its members in Shadows From the Past and it is
Ada's responsibility to lead her entire family out of the darkness and into the
light. A long-postponed visit home opens a can of worms about the past and
provides the opportunity to deal with it and put it well behind them all.
Beyond the Trial is a collection of three short stories about three women who
choose to see life beyond their trials and dared to reach for it.
