Kenneth Kaigua, winner of the 2017 Anasoma Writing Contest, has written an aspirational book about Kenya in 2037 when the first woman president has been elected. President Makena Akai is confronted with challenges, both personal and political, and she struggles to make the right choice for her children and for her country. Should she pay blackmailers and protect her daughter's indiscretion? Can she bring a divided and discouraged country back together? Is a woman capable of governing such a country? Can we hope for a better future for men and women?
