About the Book

My book is a true story about a ruthless farm owner by the name Stewart Hamilton and his trusted servant Spinach Chigubu who was just as ruthless towards the peasants and who instigated all the trouble and tragedies that befell his fellow black peasants. This is a story that my father told me and it begins with the life and death of his family under the hands of Stewart and how he (my father) and his brother survived. The book takes the reader through all the hardships they encountered the twists and turns and most of all the unexpected turn of events that landed my father back on the farm. His affair with (you will never guess who). Did Spinach recognize him? Was he successful with his plan to avenge the death of his father? What became of his brother? READ ON TO FIND THE ANSWERS.

About the Author

My mother said, "In all my pregnancies May 23rd was the unpredicted fastest delivery I ever encountered. I walked into church and without warning I was having labor pains and before I knew it church was interrupted I was surrounded by the Deacon's wives and was ushered into a baptismal room and there a baby girl was born - Dorothy (means a gift of God).” My name is Dorothy Nhamo Chitembure). I am a Zimbabwe who recently obtained Citizenship in United States. Whilst in Zimbabwe I worked in Tourism for over fifteen years and it was during that time that I met and married an American; that is how I came to USA. After my divorce, I committed to what I love most – helping the less fortunate. In 2005 I was awarded a Woman of Achievement Award by the YWCA for my efforts in helping and bringing awareness to the impoverished country of Zimbabwe; a country so devastated by inflation and a staggering 85% of unemployment with my entire family right in the mist of it. Friends would say “take care of yourself first so as to be able to take care of others” But I wonder if there is such a day that one would say “I think I now have enough so let me now help others” If I had listened, I could have still been trying to take care of ME and I cannot even phantom how many live could have been lost that I have saved in my sacrifices and I will continue to do so as long as God permits. In my efforts I produced a CD that consists of poems and songs from my native country and 100% of the proceeds went to helping 15 children that I am helping through school and elderly widows with no source of income. I believe everything happens for a reason and my writing this book is for a reason. ONE WOULD ASK “IS THIS A GOOD BOOK?” I would said “READ IT AND TELL ME”
