As the title suggests, Labyrinth of Broken Dreams is awash with stories of unfulfilled potential, disappointments and betrayal. Serena, the main character in the book, is a gorgeous African woman who after leaving her native Kenya to pursue her career dreams, ends up trapped in a foreign land and having to endure an unfulfilled relationship with a man who neither loves nor respects her.
Serena’s life – it emerges – has been a steady stream of empty relationships and betrayals. Frustrated with her inability to find love, the young woman turns inward to a ‘self-lover’ for those nights when her loneliness gets the better of her.
As we soon learn, Serena’s inability to find happiness is linked, in part, to her difficult childhood – a past that comes to light when her friend Emeka comes home late one night in tears after a ‘date’ that goes horribly wrong. For Serena, the incident brings back many dark memories.
The lives of these two young women from Africa intersect in Canada as they search of a better life than they would have known in their homelands. Their search for a perfect life, perfect love and success implores them to make tough and desperate choices, often acting counter to their own life principles. Their journey confronts the reader with many of the real issues that are prevalent in third-world countries; war, brain drain, famine, sex and the misguided notion that a better life awaits all those who travel to the western world.
They say the only thing that man can do to impede his own happiness is to search for it... Join the characters of this book in their tumultuous and enlightening journey, as they uncover the truth about themselves and their dreams.
