Divorce is a big taboo word, in churches and in the communities in Kenya. Women and children are major victims of the oppression that comes with divorce. This book highlights the oppression of black African women in Kenya, who dared to pursue a divorce from their abusive husbands. It reflects the corrupt and oppressive local authority systems and negative traditional patriarchal attitudes towards these women, treating them like social pariahs. Women are held responsible for family breakdowns when most of the time they are the victims.
Shibero ‘s divorce took nine years when she decided to divorce her English husband. Her divorce was extremely acrimonious and painful divorce.

She can remember the trauma and sense of pain, fear, isolation, confusion, helplessness, anxiety, and oppression she experienced, as a woman going through a divorce in a patriarchal society, with barely a handful of individuals to help or support her through the quagmire of emotions and legal jargon.

Having lived in the USA and England all her adult life, she knows that things need to change the way in which black women are treated during such times: abusive.

She speaks from personal experience as she shares the emotionally traumatic difficult time she encountered and how her faith in Christ gave her hope, a new life, and a purposeful life. Her personal divorce journey is the result of this book, specifically for women in Kenya. It offers women important insight that will inform, prepare, and start women on their journey of healing, possible reconciliation, and restoration.
