Tangled roots. Life is a Story - story.one

Sheba yearned for her life to begin. But that could only happen when she'd gotten what she'd always wanted: a family. Only then could the agony of the thought be replaced by bliss. Only then could she begin to live.

But miscarriage after miscarriage replaced hope with doubt then despair and finally torture. She could let go of the hope for a happier past but not for that of a happier future.

An overwhelming choice loomed over her. How could she ever choose betwen the love of her life and her future children when neither one could bring her happiness without the other?

Or was letting go giving up?
