Eight-year-old Joan lost her father and her brother; they were killed by fighters at a checkpoint of her country’s heinous civil war. She too could have been killed, had Christiana (Teka), a female fighter, not intervened. Joan is now twenty-eight and is pursuing her master’s in constitutional law abroad. Beyond that, she intends to start a family. Suddenly, she faces the need to choose between two men intent on taking her hand. One is Teka’s son, who left Africa when he was two. The other man is the son of a wealthy couple who died in the war that swept away Joan’s father and her

brother. A dream is exciting, but multiple dreams competing simultaneously can be a nightmare. What is she going to do now? Be Joan’s guest through her storm of emotions.
