Such Is Life

By Sarah Mberengo

SUCH IS LIFE. When one hears these three simple words, curiosity is likely to set in. The words may cause the reader to forget their cares and simply sit back cheerfully anticipating hearing something captivated and valuable. I truly believe that the stories in this collection will not disappoint. The reader will be spellbound and gain new hope and belief in limitless potential and possibilities. The world is filled with desperate, weary people who are reeling under life challenges and difficulties. Life for a lot of people, especially women, is a long voyage through turbulent waters, the ship pounded by storms approaching from every point of the compass. 
However, the good news is that the stories contained in this book, and indeed in real life, anguish and despair are not - and should not - be permanent dwelling places for anyone. 

All the stories in this collection are about women who encountered constant degradation and humiliation at the hands of men; women who were systematically robbed of self-confidence, but like a phoenix, they rose from ashes to fight for their success.
