In Fistula, author Koritha Mitchell shares her own heartbreaking and hopeful story of living with fistula. Mitchell was just 14 years old when she gave birth to her first child. The labor was long and difficult, and Mitchell suffered a severe tear that resulted in fistula.
For years, Mitchell lived with the shame and stigma of fistula. She was unable to control her urine or feces, and she was often ostracized by her community. But Mitchell never gave up hope. She eventually found a doctor who was able to repair her fistula, and she has since dedicated her life to helping other women who are suffering from this condition.
Fistula is a powerful and moving novel that sheds light on the devastating impact of fistula and the importance of providing access to quality healthcare for all women. Mitchell's story is a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit, and it is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope.
