This is a heavy story to read, but the hope and perseverance Adunni has is beautiful and against all odds, she finds her way in the world. I learned a lot about Nigeria by reading this book, and I definitely needed my eyes opened and my world expanded. I loved her passion and dedication to wanting to obtain an education so eventually she could become a teacher and help out other girls in her village. Really makes you appreciate our wonderful free education which a lot of us take for granted. You truly get to know and love Adunni, I finished the book a couple days ago and I miss her.
