"Daughter, your day has come. you are going to be married today." Imagine being fourteen years old and awakened in the dead of night to hear your father speak those words. Boue couldn't. Yet she was physically forced to take part in a tradition going back to her ancestor's time. So when her daughter, Ophelea matured, no man was going to own her. Boue swore to protect her. And so begins the story of Ophelea. From a small child protected by spells conjured by Kanessan, a powerful medicine woman, to an educated adolescent coveted by her evil witch grandmother, Jolilou, to a mother married to a closet homosexual, Ophelea's life is a rollercoaster ride of betrayals and infidelities, family strife and treacherous friendships. But with her street smarts, cunning intelligence and unique methods of dealing with those who would hurt her, Ophelea's turbulent troubles resolve themselves into one single thought, a mantra she shares with her best friend, Sade - There's more to life than man.· Ophelea By Raphael T.
