What does it truly mean to be a man when everything around you demands more than you can give? In the heart of Nairobi, David is a husband, a father, and a man on the edge. Every day, he wakes up to hustle for an income that disappears faster than it comes. Rent looms. Children's needs never end. Society expects strength, solutions, and sacrifice-but what happens when the weight becomes too much to carry? The Cost of Being a Man is a gripping, deeply human novella about love, survival, and silent resilience in the face of unrelenting pressure. David doesn't drink. He doesn't cheat. He doesn't run. But life still stretches him to his limits. With a wife who believes in him, children who look up to him, and a community that judges from a distance, David walks a daily tightrope between dignity and despair. Can a man hold onto hope when his worth is measured by what he provides?
Can love survive when poverty knocks every night?
And what happens to the dreamers who pray for more-but are forced to settle for less? Set against the backdrop of Kenya's urban hustle, this novella isn't just a story-it's a mirror. A mirror held up to every man who's ever carried invisible burdens, and every woman who's ever wondered what that cost truly feels like. If you've ever asked yourself what strength looks like in silence, or what courage feels like in the absence of applause-this book is for you.
