Diary of a Married Woman Book 

Diary of a Married Woman is Sam Ekong’s first novel and explores the themes of love, lust, infidelity, and emotional awakenings.

Is It True Love? Or Just Lust?

Despite being a devoted and loving wife for ten years, Amber Smith’s marriage is crumbling. Her husband no longer exhibits the love and affection Amber so desperately needs.

When she meets a mysterious young man named Blessing, Amber finds herself caught up in an intense and passionate love affair. She wrestles with guilt, jealousy, and shame over her affair, but she didn’t see a way out. Does Amber love Blessing? Or is it merely lust?

 What Happens When It’s All Over?

The idea that Mike was having an affair didn’t bother me that much. It was ironic that his own indiscretion if it was true, would be so close to home as well. It wasn’t really that I still loved him because I didn’t. It wasn’t that I was jealous because I wasn’t. It was just that I’d never thought of him as one who would have an affair. Could this be true, I kept thinking.

My thought went back to Blessing, how I wished he was here to share the moment with me and watch the rain fall. I thought about the way he usually talks to me, looks at me, and the way he touches me. These thoughts are not strange to me at all because at night, whenever I’m lonely, I often think about him. Whenever I feel disenchanted, which is often these days, I think of him. And most importantly, whenever I needed to remind myself how good a man could make me feel, I think about him.

How will Amber contend with what the future holds? Will she come to terms with her true heart’s desire? Or will she lose the man she loves?
