“Shhh... She is mine” narrates the life of a young girl in her early 20s, the most vibrant and sparkling stage of life. She is visited one day, by a little hot air balloon arriving far earlier than she had expected.
Will this early little hot air balloon become her burden, or promise her a best companion throughout the path of life?
Through this story, the author reflects on the narrow confines of what is moral righteousness as held by society. Such a particular preconception asserted by society upon the identity of a young mother could lose them of their own self-confidence and pride.
This book serves as an imaginary narrative for readers with similar experiences to be brave and encouraged, or for others who are open to experience the emotional states a young mother has to overcome.
