Widows, abandoned wives, orphans, rape victims, outcasts, for whatever reason become trapped in the constraints placed upon them and turn to inexorably to the only course for survival set for them. Ms Phiri addresses with sincerity and humanity a subject that is taboo in all societies and in all cultures, north or south, east or west. She avoids the sensationalism that could have accompanied such a work and outlines in a matter of fact manner, the progress of desperate women towards this lifestyle, the dangers and humiliation that they have to endure and their striving for redemption. All who read this book will search their own hearts to uncover how they themselves could have contributed, even through good intentions to the decisions made by these women.
