    About this ebook

    Set in the '90s, this sequel to Dear Obajimi is told from the perspective of the missing spouse.
    In 1998, the same year Morenike writes to her husband, Obajimi pens one long letter in response. His letter examines his own point of view of their marriage, dwelling on issues of identity, love, trust and commitment. Ultimately, he answers the question Morenike, his now estranged wife, asked in her final letter.
    Told in the voice of the husband, this short story explores the challenges that threaten the fragile relationship of a young African couple.
    Can there be forgiveness, healing and second chances after abandoning a spouse?
