The world stopped making sense the day Kendy's mother died. But the rain started truly beating when her father betrayed her.Once his favorite child, Kendy watched her father replace her mother and twin brother, only to silently dissolve their beautiful life and vanish with his new family. For Kendy, the memory of her Durban home turned from comfort to a haunting curse.Fleeing the place of her deepest pain, she spends years chasing peace in new towns and in the arms of men who promise stability-a husband who blames her for their misfortunes, a lover whose neglect mirrors her deepest fears. Each sacrifice she makes, each new home she tries to build, crumbles violently, leaving her more isolated, more desperate, and with a growing family she struggles to keep afloat.The wounds of the past demand a price. Now, three children later, with nowhere left to run, Kendy is forced to face the ultimate surrender.She must go back to the home that broke her, back to the abandoned house of her youth, and beg the weight of her past for sanctuary. Can she finally find a flicker of light in the unrelenting storm?
