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 canβt he be poor the way she thought he
was when she fell in love with him?
Desperate and determined to find a realm that doesnβt 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 Ianβs heart?
