This was heartbreaking, beautiful and raw- without a doubt the best book I've read this year.

I couldn't put this book down. It was the most riveting and compelling story I've read in a while. Adunni had my heart from page one. Loved everything about this book !!!

A wonderful and touching story that is extremely sad, but at the same time full of hope and faith that tomorrow will be a better day. The book awakened in me a great feeling of gratitude that I was born right here and that life is just the way it is.
"At first I wasn’t understanding him, but now it is not too much a problem. Everybody in the whole world be speaking different. Big Madam, Ms. Tia, Kofi, Abu, even me, Adunni. We all be speaking different because we all are having different growing-up life, but we can all be understanding each other if we just take the time to listen well."
