They are living in a society that has been torn with racial tension for centuries. They struggled with discrimination, and are facing too many obstacles.

He knocks on many different doors asking for just one chance, to demonstrate his capabilities as a qualified doctor, but his efforts and knocks go unanswered. When they appeal to their government for help and intervention; it is then that they will discover a conspiracy, which will nearly destroy their lives.

READ AN EXCERPT


A tear rolled down Nicole’s cheek, as she looked around the empty room. She could still feel his presence, even those she could not see his face. Everything she had struggled to gain, was now gone, it had all vanished in a blink of an eye. With every tear that rolled down her cheek, she cried for the loss of their unborn child, for the hand she used to hold, for the love that still lived in her heart, but was now gone from her life. It had all disappeared into thin air. And she was left trying to understand why. Why didn’t they give him a chance, why hasn’t any of the doors they had knocked been answered? Why was the world so cold? Why did people judge others so unfairly? What gave them the right to deny, someone access to their careers, just because they didn’t study here. If they have the skills and knowledge, and it’s proven they did, then why wouldn’t they play fair? Didn’t they realize how many people lives, are left broken by these protective barriers they put in place. That they are denying, fair and equal opportunity for someone that deserve it, and also to those that are in need of the skills.
