Emotion — Stephen Jones

Nolwazi thought she had found true love when she married Thulani, the man who promised her the world. But soon, the mask of charm fell away, revealing a darker truth-a life of manipulation, abuse, and control. The home she dreamed would be her sanctuary becomes a prison, and the man she loved becomes her greatest nightmare. Caught between cultural expectations, fear of judgment, and her desperate need to survive, Nolwazi faces the painful reality of her marriage. Yet, in the midst of despair, she begins to uncover her own strength. With every broken piece she gathers, Nolwazi learns that healing is possible, freedom is worth fighting for, and her story does not end with suffering. Her Monster is a gripping and emotional novel about love turned toxic, the hidden scars of abuse, and the powerful resilience of a woman determined to reclaim her life. Heartbreaking yet inspiring, this story will stay with readers long after the last page an unforgettable journey from darkness into light.
