An African girl only wanted to be free to display affection to the one she deeply desires, even if that one were an American... She did not envisage that love could be that costly, and dangerous. Blinded by bizarre passion, she almost forgot, or she ignored the fact, that she is African and that means there are things she must never do publicly - even as much as think of - as an African lady... Living quietly in her remote village in a corner of Africa, South of the Sahara, Amina never envisaged that the coming into her village, and into her life, of Melissa would change her life completely, making her a fugitive from her own people. A Strange Desire is the forbidden story of Africa told by a freeborn, an insider - an African. The story is a complete work of fiction.
