When Angels Marry Demons Firie Mhene

A heart rending story of courage, dedication, love, and respect on the one being rewarded with untold hardships, disrespect, and ill-treatment. Where she should have just given up and left, Mhayi chose to stay in her marriage, endure, and persevere, in order to raise her children in the family home. "If I go, my dears, who will be your mother? Any stepmother, who will definitely come and replace me, will misuse all that I, we, have worked to build up. I will stay till all of you are grown; I will stay and go through it all just for you, my little ones," she tells her young baby girl. To what level of mistreatment will she endure? How long can she endure it? And how does she even manage to endure? When Angels Marry Demons is a heartrending tale of silent courage in the face of grotesque injustice, a loss of trust in the (marriage) system, and finally finding peace in death. Told from her two-year-old daughter, who is the witness, the secret bearer, the confidante, of her mother's deepest humiliations, the book will resonate with many a woman, many an activist, and many a child. Delve into the life, the feelings, and the thoughts of Mhayi, in a way only Firie Mhèné can delve, and learn feel with her.
