This book was a glimpse at life in Nigeria; one that is much needed for me as I am tired of reading the same books by Anglo authors about life in the Western hemisphere. These stories were hard to digest--this book is not for the lighthearted looking for a light read. The topics addressed are real, raw and heart-wrenching. I am so grateful to have found this first hand account of life in Nigeria from a Nigerian as I begin my trek into books by non-White authors. Highly recommend this book.
