The book, A Walk for Justice, Series one, captured the roller coaster life of a teenager, Chiagozie Chike, from Awgu in South Eastern Nigeria who, out of her desire and love to attain a university education, agreed to marry a man she barely knew. Her husband, Akachukwu Chike, after dutifully fulfilling the stringent requirements of marriage in this Igbo traditional society together with the requirements of marriage in the Catholic Church, turned her into an object of his insatiable sexual appetite. When she cried out to her mother, she advised her to endure the pains of the sexual exploitation of her husband in the hope that it would end one day, as that was her experience too when she got married, and even the experience of other women before her.
The world seemed to finally crumble on Chiagozie's head when her mother in-law, Adaego, insisted that her dream of going to the university could only be realized, if at all, if she gave birth to a male child. To her utmost shock, her mommy's-boy husband readily supported his mother. Chiagozie Chike's fate now hangs in the balance. What if the baby that is already in her womb turns out to be a female?
