a handsome young male joins the teaching staff at a girl's secondary school. the students fling themselves at him but he would neither be dragged nor tempted to have an extra relationship with his students unlike the other male teachers. the girl's get fustrated and connive to bring him down and get him expelled from the school with the help of other teachers who are found guilty in this area. with the help of students and his poor and humble background, he overcomes, finds another job quickly and in the end finds a wife.

Good book. A lot of lessons to learn on life, growth and relationships. I like the growth of Annette and how it impacted her daughter’s life in the future. Ben’s growth is also inspiring . Patience is indeed a virtue
