Fatou l'Espoir

Three years after having been illegally confined and raped during her forced married, Fatou returns to Paris. Obliterating the past, she devotes herself entirely to her career. She succeeds brilliantly: she does the hairdos for fashion shows. Unfortunately, her past catches up with her. And her unhealed wounds open up. Fleeing all contact with men, Fatou realizes the damage done to her family. Her mother, humiliated, has left her father. Her father, devastated, has left the Malian clan and vanished into thin air. This is the story of how Fatou makes amends. Amends that include looking for her father and the reunion of her parents. And the discovery of true love. And desire. And trust...
