A Victim of Injustice

It is very important that one looks before one leaps, for every decision or action produces a consequence. But it is absolutely unjustifiable for an innocent person to go through hell as a result of someone else’s actions. Sadly, that was the exact terrible ordeal an only girl-child suffered.Serwaa-Akoto was unluckily rendered a victim of injustice. And despite her incomparable beauty and immense personal charm, her burning desire to get married and have children remained elusive.The story portrays some of the traditional beliefs and practices of the African society. In the course of development, however, most of them, especially those that either raised ethical issues or violated human rights, have been modified to fall into line with modernity. It thus provides valuable insight into our unique culture and civilisation. It is simply a must-read novel for the African diaspora especially. But readers must be 18 or above since the story contains scenes of romance, violence and crime.
