There's Still Much to Live For Kindle Edition


The story, There’s Still Much to Live For, deals with the dynamics of widowhood in a nuclear family and the influence of extended family values. John Kuto plays the leading role in the story but dies early due to a strange ailment that turns fatal. The supporting role is shared by Belinda, his spouse, now a widow, and the couple’s three children: Thelma, Danny, and Kenneth. Hence, John Kuto becomes a hero in transition as his name keeps popping up in virtually all the chapters. The plot thickens with members of the extended family--particularly Belinda’s in-laws, led by Pa Olokiki--blaming Belinda for the premature demise of their son, John Kuto. This accusation puts Belinda in a dilemma as she struggles hard to overcome the grief of her husband’s premature death. Belinda also faces the dynamics of being a single parent working 8 to 5 to sustain her family. She nearly gives up for the love of friends who rally around her in her moments of grief and emotional needs. It is essential to mention that, but for the love of such people like Mama Fatima, Nurse Samuel Dogari, Pastor Sullivan Nwachukwu, Nurse Ann Pinta, Dr. Dimeji Banjo, and Barrister Beatrice, Belinda would have been overwhelmed by depression.
