    About this ebook

    Offering vivid and poignant insights into a struggle shared by many, this is the story of a woman's long, humiliating and exhausting struggle to become permanently employed within her chosen field of education. Through many temporary jobs, the constant uncertainty and financial struggle, she persisted, checking the notice board, sending in her CV and attending interviews. She found the strength to keep going on. even when it felt so much, through her faith in Jesus Christ and daily prayer meditation.

    I was doing matric in 1989 when one day our Sepedi teacher gave us an essay about when it gets dark. I was the only one who understood the topic. We had A, B,C, D classes and my teacher went to all classes reading my essay. Other learners were not happy. After completing my teacher's diploma I started to read more books, watch more movies. Every time I do that I develop an idea. As I was unemployed I had time to think. I started with simple short stories then novels.
