My Sick and Lame

Author Mirigo Kinyanjui

Meet Abigail and Joel who were separated early in their childhood and always imagined themselves orphans. A twist of fate brings them together as strangers with strong romantic feelings for each other except that both are of a sexual orientation that much of society considers abnormal and are therefore incompatible. How the siblings’ meeting comes to be, and what transpires after that into the normality of straight marriage and the discovery of their blood relation, is a tale full of surprises. But it is a tale of hope that ‘it is okay not to be okay’ even for the marginalised and social outcasts. Things turn out well in the end when they discover the truth and reunite with their erstwhile ‘dead’ parents.
