Tribute to My Mother

I did not write this book to condemn anyone. Far from it. I have written it so that our younger generations will forsake mediocrity and debauchery and live a productive life. I have written it so that every man will have the wisdom to love his wife and children. I have written it so that every woman in this country will fight to live decently and not expect everything from her husband. About the title: The state of Burkina Faso demonstrated its recognition of Blanche with a medal in 2009. In my turn, I wrote this novel to also show our gratitude to her, hence the title. My gratification for you, Mother.
