This book is special and different from what is usual because the Genre and the entire composition of this book fall under nonfiction: a communication in which descriptions and events are real and factual. This is a true-life story about Adam a High School Director and Hannah a University student. Adam and Hannah fell in love and the result of their love made them went from complexity of rejection, to trials and tribulations and from denial and anguish, to sadness and happiness. It all started on Thursday 20 August 1998 around 4.00 pm in the evening. Adam saw Hannah coming out of Das University and as soon as he saw her, he felt exhilarated, trembling, a racing heart with accelerated breathing and feeling of love that ran into his body and mood that made him start feeling like a drug addict. She was a Christian, Yoruba by tribe and he was a Muslim and Fulani by tribe. They eventually fell in love and deeply in love but the problem started because they were of different ethics, tribe and faith. Getting married to a person from a different tribe or religion in the environment they live, may require very deep thinking, planning and sacrifice. Therefore, having falling into this kind of relationship with different set of values and beliefs can be very difficult to manage most especially in the environment they live. Her father was a Yoruba and Christian while his father was the opposite, a Fulani and a Muslim. Her senior brother was a pastor, her siblings and entire family were Yoruba and Christians while on the other hand his entire family were Muslims. The question is, are they going to be compatible? Her father died without accepting them and his mother died looking straight into her eyes. Her family took her away out of anger without notice to another town, far away over eight hundred and fifty kilometres without prejudice and placed her under lock and key with the damn intention of getting her married to another person she despises and at all cost. Tremendously, full of rage and love, Adam planned and took her away on the day she was supposed to get married to another person. Adam married Hannah (1) in the court (2) according to religious rights and (3) traditionally, all in a bid to making her his. After getting married, she got pregnant and had a child. Her siblings took her and the child away from him by force to an unknown destination. He had a drastic accident in his car on his way trying to find her and his child. Huh! Can they be together at all? It is a true-life story full of surprises, fun, pity, happiness, sorrow, hate, deceit, joy and overall love. Their love found way for both of them to be together forever and the impact of their love fuelled the love that made them live far beyond the moments of their life. Very few have the strength, passion, and desire required to make their love last to eternity but to Adam and Hannah, their love would remain a dream come true forever and ever.
