I was a middle-aged successful woman who left her marriage to an angry Irish Catholic for a new life in Kenya with a young Romany gypsy lover. What began as a dream turned nightmarish.

I owned the African Oasis furniture factory in Mombasa and learned magic from an old juju friend. Then, I met Reiner Moser, a German businessman, whose charm masked a darker side.

My lover became entangled in Interpol pursuits involving Reiner's criminal associate, Andreas Koeltz, leading to betrayal and danger. Desperate, I turned to Amin Walji, an MP and casino owner, for help.

With Amin's aid, my lover and I, alongside two German friends also deceived by Reiner, fled Nairobi for a dilapidated safari lodge in Namanga, near Tanzania. Abandoned by our German companions, we moved to Kisumu to manage a failing casino for Amin.

His sudden death shattered our refuge, prompting us to plan a risky escape after his funeral attended by President Daniel arap Moi. This is a story of survival against betrayal and adversity, a testament to resilience in the face of danger.
