ABOUT THE BOOK
This collection of stories takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions. Through pain, sadness, excitement, understanding and indignation, the stories leave you with a feeling of companionship as you daily wade through the struggles of living and striving to thrive in a dynamic country with its fair share of inequities.
From student to worker, child to adult, woman to man; these stories are relatable. The hope in the words give you the comfort of knowing that your silent daily struggles are a common denominator of middle class Africans, and the reality in the lines show that every new day can be better than the last.
FORWARD
As an author of many publications, I am always excited to read books. Sometimes, reading becomes a bore. But, in this instance, Elizabeth kept me glued to the pages of this book. Trust me, THERAPY IN TRAFFIC is a must-read!
From the richness of the themes to the captivating storylines, THERAPY IN TRAFFIC presents real-life in a make-belief world that one cannot ignore. The suspense and flashback create a beautifully woven plot that keeps the reader wanting more. The author’s simplicity in exploring the challenges in marriage, culture, gender sensibilities, fairness, inequality, and emotional well-being brings much-needed insight and clarity.
This book is worth your time. It deserves your attention. It will entertain, educate, and enlighten. You must read it for yourself to enjoy it.
