When the beautiful, vivacious Grace Nkosi meets the unassuming Nash Nemutandani, she quickly writes him off as undeserving of her time and affections, until she discovers he is wealthy beyond measure. A whirlwind romance ensues and soon Grace moves in with Nash in his mansion in Sandton.
Shopping sprees at exclusive boutiques, excursions to the far-flung Dubai and other exotic holiday destinations are now as simple as ordering pizza for Grace, and she is milking it for all it is worth. But what is supposed to be a forever-after love story soon turns into a living nightmare when she discovers the real source of Nash's wealth, and that the life of plenty she is living comes at a prize, and it is one that will haunt her for the rest of her life.
Based on a true story, A Woman's Essence isn't another 'reformed Slay Queen's Story'. Journalist turned publisher Thokozani Magagula explains: "Grace's story was an explosive, harrowing expose on some of Johannesburg's rich and famous. It was a story no journalist would touch, a bombshell no editor would dare publish. Until now.
