Mabel’s Shabanu Post #1

“God, my life was perfect, and you struck him down!” Page 170.

Dear Diary,

I never knew how cruel life could be. I was so happy. So very happy. I had my family, my camels, my dowry, and I was engaged to a man with land and money who would be a good husband. Then, not to long before I was to be married, it all came crashing down. My future husband was… I’m sorry. I have trouble talking about it. It was terrible. I can recall it like it was only yesterday. Hamir was slain, but Shabanu, Mama and I escaped, and we have found a place to stay.
