From the Eyes of a Little Girl this incident occurred when the writer was only 11 years old. The Bleeding Palm Tree, No Means No! This story is about a beautiful woman, Tha Kaday, who struggled with the custom of the country, in concert with weaning a child and engaging in sexual activities during that period from the birth of the child to at least a year or two of nursing the child, a custom her husband refused to accept. The conflict between the couple escalade to physical, mental and sexual abuse and rape, in such a way the entire village intervened to stop the abuse. As a child I witnessed women suffer physical, mental and sexual abuse from the men they loved and had children for but never to the degree of murder. I watched women suffer silently, because of the children, they will say. Follow Tha Kaday as she forgave her husband more than Seventy times Seven (70 X 7), tells her story from the grave. I cannot attempt to tell my story of abuse and shame without first helping Tha Kaday, tell hers. It was her story as a child that inspired me not to surrender my heart, soul and body to any man, relationship, family or friend. Through her, I also learned to run away, therefore, I am still alive. To all that read this book, I want you to accept the fact that domestic violence is real and exist in every country, society, culture and race. This story will help those who are presently in or are thinking to go back to an abusive relationship to think twice not to end up like our heroin, who held her honor to protect her child but believed her husband will give in and help her raise a healthy child, fell for his lies and ended up dead. The writers desire is for the reader to come away with the hope that people will learn to love each other enough not to course harm to another human being especially if they proclaim to become husband and wife or partners for life.
