My Mother

Mothers, especially those endowed with womanhood, will ever remain precious, influential, and inspirational. In this novel, the author explores the life of a particular woman from her teenage years up to the time she has turned eighty-three on how her life history has inspired the author and other people around. Lindokuhle (wait for good things) struggles in life through thick and thin to better her life, that of her biological family, and that of people around her. She fends for her children and commands respect from a husband who returns love for hatred and respect for disrespect for years. Lindokuhle is depicted here as the modern Proverbs 31 woman. She finally wins her husbands love, proving to the world that love can turn a stony heart into jelly.
