Told through the remorseful reflections of Hardlife—a young man coming to terms with his youthful recklessness—Forsaken takes us on an unforgettable emotional journey back to the heart of Zimbabwe. It unearths the harrowing yet inspiring life of his mother, Hazvinei, a young village girl left orphaned at just seventeen in Muzerembwa village.
From facing poverty, local predators, and betrayal, to searching for safety and dignity across borders from Harare to South Africa, Hazvinei’s journey is a powerful testament to quiet courage, motherly love, and unyielding faith.
