An incredible coming-of-age story about a Kenyan woman, Soila who travels to the USA for school. While in school she is confronted by the vast differences when it comes to poverty, racism, culture, and how her own beliefs have the potential to be prejudiced.
I liked how being in America did open Soila’s eyes to these differences and helped her to connect with her half sister.
This was a very eyeopening read when it comes to such topics, while also taking on other important topics such as: predators, religion, abortion and Alzheimer’s.
