"Marry me please, my love?" the eighteen-year-old prince of the small village of Umueobe begged Nkem, the most beautiful girl in his village. He was a prince and she was a nobody. He wanted her to be his princess but she declined because she was only twelve. Nkem wanted to continue going to school, she wanted more education, she was never going to give in to being forced into early marriage which was the predominant fate of all the girls in the 1970s era. "The prince will have to wait until I have finished school", that was the ultimatum from the intelligent Nkem. Nkem's mother, Ugomma, was furious. She wanted her daughter to forgo her education and marry the prince immediately. Ugomma was prepared to go any length to become the woman, whose daughter is married to the charming prince.
