In order to follow her father's wishes, Clarissa Karanbani gives up the opportunity to study in France, which a prelate from that country offers her. But she has no real regrets because she is to marry Andreas Karanbani, the son of the richest man in the village. She lives the love and she crunches the conjugal happiness to the fullest until her husband makes another woman enter this monogamous home. Her ordeal then begins and goes on interminably. Like her, all her children are forced to suffer martyrdom for many years because of Peninnah's occult practices, the effects of which destroy their lives and follow them all over the world under the spell of their father, who has become their tormentor. Plunged in spite of herself into this family chaos, Eden Karanbani, the narrator of this true story, has only one dream: to save herself first, then her mother from the clutches of the queen of occultism. To do this, she makes the boldest choices, desperately seeking the shadow of any safety. But almost every refuge she thinks she's found turns out to be a ruthless torture center. Indeed, tormented endlessly in Cameroon, the narrator finally believes she sees the end of the dark tunnel when, after several unsuccessful attempts to immigrate to France, a German visa lands in her hands like manna. She hopes to free up a few seconds in the midst of her multiple tasks as an au-pair to first finish her studies, then find a decent job and finally get her mother out of hell. But it turns out that she is just a commodity that her so-called German host family plans to deliver to the highest bidder. The premature discovery of this secret begins her ordeal on German soil. There she will be torn apart by all sorts of claws, each predator or group of predators attacking the prey in turn. This is the continuation of the effects of a silent, but very hard fight that has been going on for almost forty years between the occult world of Peninnah, and the world of Clarissa kept close to the light thanks to the religious commitment of this pious mother. It is thanks to this light of God that Eden Karanbani never slips into the bottom of one of these predatory stomachs, even though she is almost permanently chewed up by the many teeth of her enemies. Considered at home in Cameroon as a financially exploitable European foreigner and labeled in Germany as an inhumanly exploitable African foreigner, the narrator is caught between a rock and a hard place. Despite her permanent address in Germany, no aspect of her life escapes the tentacles of cruel polygamy. The source of her strength in these trials is unknown to herself until God reveals Himself clearly to her on several occasions. She then consciously entrusts to Him all her struggles which will become her victories.
