A Walk in the Rain Ernest O Izedonmwen

Osaru, received a tourist visa to visit the United States from Nigeria. A grateful and excited Osaru had no intention of returning to his country at the expiration of his tourist visa. With high hopes and expectations, he arrived in America to a plethora of unexpected challenges. He fell in love with a remarkably intelligent and challenging woman, a love made more complicated by his obligation to his Nigerian fiancée, Ese. His fidelity to Ese is tested early by the reality of life in the US as an undocumented alien. Marriage to his American girlfriend promised immediate benefits and reliefs, including, decent employment, but he is torn and tortured by his obligation to his faithful fiancée. With unemployment squarely at his doorstep, he opted for the easy and immediate benefits of marriage to his American girlfriend. Osaru's marriage to his American wife ensured a wonderful life for a while, until it falls apart due to his infidelity and unwitting participation in drug distribution.
