Barren Reflection Patrick Ete

The spirit world is annoyed with Pauline; a young, beautiful jewel. Her grangmother, a coven member is inthe best position to unleash terror from within. The punishment is for Pauline to be single for life. If she is lucky to be married, except she goes back tothe coven and beg for a child, she is to remain barren. To accomplish this, she was bethrothed to a spirit husband that regularly make love to her in her sleep. In the physical world, different men come into her life; but leave prematurely. She could not cope with the rejections and miscarriages. She became suicidal. Puzzled, she prayed God for a heavenly sent husband; even though she was in an adulterous relationship with Rasak, a divorcee, and a business guru. God asked her to stop seeing Rasak. In annoyance, she asked God to hold His Heavens. And she stopped praying. After awhile, she repented of her sins. Her grandmother died suddenly. And she met Kelvin, a bachelor, and a believer. They got married, but had no child for years. Did they survive the ridicule, the temptation of bowing to the devil? Did they lose hope? Did they loseFaith? Did they forsake God?
