Mosa Sekele Mashitisho dedicated this book to all those affected by the scourge of Gender-Based Violence. Every victim knows another victim, but no perpetrator knows another like themselves. This is because we have created so many conversations for and about victims, but we have not tapped into the mindsets of these perpetrators and found out what it is that really causes them to behave in ways that make others feel inhumane or inferior or underserving of love, care and warmth that a healthy relationship offers.
This book talks about the pain and suffering brought on by the cruel actions of those that always want to harm others physically, mentally, sexually, emotionally and otherwise. It also offers empathy to the victims and hope to all survivors that all is not lost. They may, and will still find love again and realize that all the pain and suffering was not the definition of what love is all about. There is a beautiful person inside each one of us and if the partners we choose to have cannot see or appreciate that beauty, we need to give ourselves permission to save our lives and leave those relationships.
The last part of this book offers love and appreciation in a form of letters written to loved ones, thanking them for being such amazing people in our lives. Even with the many failed marriages ending in divorce, fights and brutal murders, there is still beauty in finding love that surpasses all emotions of anger, insecurities and evil doing. At the end of the day, love follows all of us and bit by bit, if we permit ourselves to leave our unhealthy and unsafe relationships and situations, this true love will find us.
