This short story is set in a world where poor folks may
only marry one person but rich men are expected to marry
three wives and have many children, spreading wealth. Kami
had thought her boyfriend Ian loved her, but he's elite,
and he's not abandoning the mores of his class to marry
only her.
ONE FOR KAMI - could there be such a person? Or should she
suffer the indignity of being one of three wives, to be
wealthier? To ensure she doesn't make such a choice, or
have to watch Ian assemble a family, she decides to travel
to another dimension where life is different. The job
she's assigned, bank teller, is not so bad, but sadly the
men don't impress her. Ian meanwhile is distraught -
anything could happen to Kami, and he might never see her
again. But the rules don't permit him to follow her.
ONE FOR KAMI is an original, detailed and lovely story of
two young
people searching for their own identities and finding out
who it is they really want to be with. I wished it was
longer. ONE FOR KAMI is suitable for
young adults or adults, and is just the right length to
read during a break from work.
Kami is faced with a heartbreaking truth; instead of being a
member of the poor lower class who are allowed only one
spouse, she finds the love of her life is an elite and bound
by law to wed three wives to do his part to eliminate the
poverty-stricken condition of their world. How can she stand
to share him? Why can’t he be poor the way she thought he
was when she fell in love with him?
Desperate and determined to find a realm that doesn’t have
such dictates, she travels to dimen-sion Three-Two- Three to
begin her search. But is love truer in a place that only
allows one spouse than it is in Ian’s heart?
