Imagine, if you will, a life where you have spent your entire childhood, ridiculed and criticized by friends and family. Your father is ashamed of you for not possessing an ounce of athletic fortitude, your mother, ignoring the fact that you were not born a girl, conjuring up several ideal circumstances to dress you in pretty things anyway. Now further imagine you are married to your one true high school sweetheart; actually the only girl to ever agree to a date with you and that was out of a sense of self-preservation to avoid having to say no for the forty-eighth time. Three years into your marriage and the two of you have your first child. No longer could your manhood be questioned by your neighbours, your workmates or your priest; a little rumour started by your father You have helped create a beautiful little girl. But although you have high hopes for your daughter, you soon realize she is far removed from your average child. In fact, she is so far removed from average she merely borders the line of normalcy. Where you have made it your creed to never proceed outside the boundaries of caution, she stomps through confidently. You avoid conflict wherever possible yet she is the epitome of confrontation. You are the butt of the neighbourhood’s worst jokes while she becomes the neighbourhood`s worst nightmare. She is daunting; she is intrusive and she is your nerve-wracking creation. She is Ebonessa.
