Kalunde's Diary

When Kalunde's husband disappears without a word, leaving her penniless with four children and no house, she is thrust into a world of poverty that finds the strength she never knew she had. From eviction to going hungry, and from shame to the kindness of strangers, Kalunde fights back, working as a dish washer in a restaurant, finds her voice, and confronts the man who left her. With a still, obstinate man who gives her not rescue, but respect, Kalunde sets about rebuilding more than a life. Kalunde's Diary is a tale of feminine strength, healing from betrayal, and love that doesn't ask, but waits.
