The Absolute Necessity: The Absolute Necessity: for Happiness

Flora and Jim were a happily married couple. Relatively wealthy, they yearned to have a baby and form a family. After three miscarriages, however, Flora sank into depression while Jim embarked on a series of affairs. Heartbroken and disillusioned it seemed like their dream of having their own family would never come true.

While contemplating leaving Jim, life took a sudden turn and Flora became pregnant again. Nine months later, little baby girl Tabu was born. Showered with love, life was one big party and Tabu's future looked brighter than the sun.

Unfortunately, Jim's infidelity had created a wedge between him and Flora and the feelings of mistrust and betrayal never healed. At the age of four, Flora and Jim got separated and Jim took little Tabu to live with his very poor parents in a village hundreds of miles away. Promising to come back soon, Tabu never again saw her father or mother.

Resigned to a life of poverty, together with not knowing the whereabouts of her parents, plunged Tabu into a state of misery as life became a war for survival. Not content with her life, as a teenager, she decided to look for happiness and embarked on a journey full of thrills, stumbles, and falls that made her wonder what in life is the absolute necessity for happiness. Is it love, friends, money, family, education... or something else?

The Absolute Necessity is the true and heartfelt account of Tabu's journey to find a better future and discover the meaning of life. Inspirational and full of spirituality, it is perfect for readers who are looking for stories of faith and people who conquer adversity despite incredible hardships.
