Love has no colours or boundaries, and such is the story of a woman who has defied social stigma, rejection and is now living with her husband.
Stephanie Edwards, an albino, has had negative and hurtful comments hurled at her all her life because of her appearance.
She was mistreated, especially by men, which made her develop a dislike for men as she wanted nothing to do with them.
Meeting her husband
Edwards developed the mindset that made her believe that no man would ever care for her until the day she met the love of her life, Sean Ellis. The two are not only happily married, but are blissfully in love.

With the positive vibes that she would accept his proposal, he went ahead to officially start their courtship.
