Sukra

By Angela N. Mata

Elisa kept her pregnancy hidden after divorcing Manuel. He is now involved with another woman. Matters spiral out of control, however, when a mutual friend pays Elisa an unexpected visit in Praia. Barbara has just married Chico, Manuel's older brother. The couple is stunned by what they uncover when they travel to Cape Verde for their honeymoon. Chico promises to keep Elisa's secret, but only for a time. Three months later, Barbara breaks her silence after a verbal altercation with her husband. Now Manuel must find a way to appease both women in his life. Chico, a Muslim scholar, suggests taking two wives since his brother's interest in the deen has deepened. Though ambivalent about his faith, Manuel gives it a try, taking Elisa on a camel trek across the Sahara while searching for a certain marabout willing to remarry them in the Islamic tradition. The couple believes they are acting in the best interest of their child, whom Manuel has named Sukra, a Creole word meaning sugar. Will Nicole, his new love interest, remain by his side?
