When Annet is born, she finds herself in a humiliating situation that is
beyond her control. Nobody wants to associate with her. She walks
around with cow dung smeared on her head. The sores on her body make her uncomfortable. She cannot even eat because of the sores on her fingers. Society turns her away, but Annet believes in greatness.
She works herself to the top of her academic journey. Slowly, her condition heals, but the dark spots of her past remain with her.
A tale to tell is a collection of African short stories that cut across cultures and times. It is the first collection of short stories by The
Writers Pen.

Sophie at last betrays Tommy for Ronnie; just similar to what Tommy does when he betrays Elsie’ s love to keep his career; to succeed in the investigations that meant the world to him. Basically; threads of family relations and friendships eventually got loose on the way, strings were unattached and promises consequently broken as well for lack of the three T’s-Trust, Talk and Truth. Therefore, everyone got entitled to their own opinions as justified by their actions that unfortunately included malice, nefarious- ness and betrayal as copiously exhibited by Kate.
