(Blurb/Summary)

Josephine Tlhware was in her early twenties with a potentially good future ahead of her. Life had taught her that fate was the ruler of everyone’s destiny. She was determined that she was going to be what she wanted to be in her life. Nothing and no one was going to come in her way. However, after the mysterious disappearance of her three months old baby, Josephine changed her plans. She had to stand up and declare the matter first and foremost. Her baby could not have melted into nothing. She was sure of that. She also had to deal with the forces that pulled her and her only brother to opposite directions. Josephine came from a poor family yet she had to abandon opportunities that would rescue her family from the poverty that threatened to swallow them. It was all for the love of her baby and, of course, to settle scores.

Her courageous moves triggered an upshot of action, murder and betrayal, all entangled in a web of suspense. Josephine pulled the entire country and squeezed it in her hand. Powerful odds struck against her but she only wanted to prove one thing - that her intelligence quotient is not as low as her adversaries perceived. In her journey to accomplish the almost impossible mission, blood was spilled and lives were lost. The whole country buzzed with incidents that never happened before.

The set moves to the fast growing cities of Gaborone and Francistown. Josephine plays the role of a young, intelligent woman who is not afraid of challenging the ‘man’s world’, a woman who knows that not even the strongest man is stronger than her. Including the mysteriously powerful and clandestinely dangerous man she had to face...
