By Akintunde Alexander Olanrewaju

At a tender age, Alexander is unintentionally exposed to the harsh realities of life. In his presence, he sees his mother get beaten by the man he once adored and considered to be the best father. This incident leaves him in a traumatic and confusing state.
Would he ever be able to forgive the man who pushed him away and beat up his mother again?
And would his torn umbrella ever be mended back to its original form?
These are the several questions and realities he has to face as a child which can be the same for other children in similar situations.
