Summary:

"Musafare, a brilliant rural athlete, finds his world transformed when a sports scholarship takes him to Harare. With unmatched talent and determination, he rises through the ranks, excelling in sports, academics, and his career. But his greatest challenge lies not in his successes, but in his desperate fight to build a family that bridges the ambitions of the city and the traditions of his rural heritage. Married to Mercy, a city girl who sees him as her ticket out of poverty, Musafare soon realizes their love is painfully one-sided. Her growing rejection leaves him grappling with loneliness and leaves him vulnerable to temptation and emotional turmoil. As the faithful, principled man he was raised to be begins to unravel, Musafare finds himself torn between his family's needs in the city and his obligations to the rural roots Mercy dismisses." -- Page 4 of cover.
