The words kept ringing in her ears as she submitted her manuscript to the publisher.
She had been maligned with false allegations in a carefully engineered social media offensive. Replying to each offender would have meant dragging herself into a cesspool.
Who can utter the poignance of all that is constantly threatened, invaded, expended to suit another’s political convenience? She made another country her home, but they made her a scapegoat to blame her influential family.
Dignity lay in silence that would erupt like music on a different note, on a different platform.
It would be the verdict of readers who could respect a perspective for what it was – her truth, neither a line of defence nor a political statement.
The book was being analysed before publication. She turned off the television.
