The non-fiction narrative commences in Karluway District, Maryland County, Liberia, which is located in the southeastern part of the country and is one of six districts in Maryland County. The story centers around an impoverished elderly African couple who developed a romantic relationship that eventually blossomed into a lifelong companionship. Their union resulted in the birth of two sons, Jasper and Joseph.

Jasper, the eldest among his siblings, endeavors to alleviate his parents and siblings from abject poverty. Despite lacking formal education, he embarked on a journey towards a better future for his family and himself. Jasper expressed his desire to relocate to Monrovia after turning 25, hoping to secure a job or attend vocational school. Fortunately, a few weeks later, he was given the opportunity to pursue his journey to Monrovia.

Upon arriving in Monrovia, Jasper faced a myriad of difficulties, including an accommodation problem. He found himself without any friends or family members to offer him a place to stay. Consequently, he was forced to sleep on the streets of Monrovia for two weeks without food.

Jasper never gave up despite facing numerous challenges. He persevered and continued to push forward until he achieved success. However, after two years, Jasper decided to visit his parents in his hometown of Karluway District, Maryland County. His parents and younger brother Joseph were overjoyed to see him after many years apart. During his visit, Jasper shared details about his life in Monrovia and the experiences he had gone through. During the conversation, he shared with his extended family that he was married and had four children. Additionally, he revealed that he had built his own house. Upon hearing this news, his parents and younger brother congratulated him on his remarkable accomplishment.

Jasper asked his parents for permission to bring his younger brother Joseph with him to Monrovia several months later. His parents gave their approval, and Joseph was ecstatic to join his older brother on the journey to Monrovia. However, Jasper made a pledge to his parents in the presence of his younger brother Joseph that he would take excellent care of him, provide him with accommodation, and finance his education from high school through university. Joseph was taken aback by this news and was thrilled about it. He couldn't wait for their journey to Monrovia to begin.

After enduring a lengthy journey, they eventually arrived at Jasper's residence. He formally introduced Joseph as his younger brother to his spouse and children, instructing them to treat him with the utmost respect as he is now a member of their family and will be residing with them for an extended period.

Unfortunately, Jasper passed away due to alcohol poisoning a few weeks later. One of his colleagues, who accused him of having extramarital affairs with his wife, was responsible for this tragic incident.

The question at hand is whether Joseph will fulfill his promise to attend both high school and university, as pledged by his elder brother.

Who will take care of Jasper's wife and kids?
