This is another book that I probably would not have even heard of or picked up if it wasn't selected by my book club to read. The story is about a young Nigerian girl who is sold into a marriage because her father needs the money. She's a smart young woman who desperately wants an education. The book is all about what happens to her, the people she meets along the way (some real nasty ones!), and her sense of hope despite what she endures. This is one of the few books that all the members of my club agreed was well worth the read. Highly recommend. - June

This is one of the finest pieces of writing "in the vernacular" I've ever read. Very difficult to do and have it easily understood while putting the reader right where the protagonist resides. Bold, brilliant, true character! Thanks for the recommendation!
