About the Book: Musa is a young man in Uganda who struggles to pay school fees and stay in school until he graduates as a doctor. It begins with his father’s desire to keep up appearances in an elite club and his mother’s ambition to become a nurse. Musa survives in school, doing well academically while trying to be the darling of girls, but he competes with rich boys and sugar daddies. They are in the difficult position of needing money but also wanting true love from a boy like Musa. Young men and women in school want to love and be loved but financial constraints make it difficult for them to have true love without sacrificing their dreams.
