The Mystery of Love

"You who will know her through this story, pray for her." Evariste Lubaki belongs to the generation of scholars in Zaire whose career began with the promises of a newly independent country looking forward to a prosperous future, only to be dragged into the debacle of the 2nd Republic. For him the pain was twice as hard, as he had to live this dramatic period as a father to a daughter born with sickle cell disease, supporting his child and family through a struggle which lasted for thirty years. The Mystery of Love is the moving testimony of a battle bravely fought against the disease through the heavy heart of the parent, fighting against his own powerlessness. It is also a love story to his incredible daughter Anne Lubaki, who lived the disease with a grace and humanity which continues to inspire.
