During her school days, Irene relied on a compassionate friend for support. On one occasion, they visited the market, where her friend generously bought food for her. However, an unexpected incident involving her friend’s brothers led to a chaotic escape, prompting Irene to seek refuge in Nairobi, where her parents had lived.
After spending three years in Nairobi, Irene decided to return to her village. Despite her sisters’ initial happiness, their relationships remained strained. A friend working in a hotel helped Irene secure a job, but tensions at her sister’s house escalated, leading to Irene being forced out after a traumatic incident of assault.

The pastor, making disturbing demands, claimed to have the power to end the cycle of deaths in her family.
Irene’s journey is a testament to resilience, enduring hardship, and the quest for a better life despite facing adversity at every turn.
