Written with Elizabeth Butler-Witter, the book sheds light on the deeply rooted cultural practice and its devastating consequences for girls. Leng'ete's determination to challenge age-old traditions and empower young girls is captured in raw and authentic storytelling.
The narrative explores the interconnectedness of culture, tradition, and gender inequality, offering readers a deeper understanding of the complex factors at play. With engaging writing and short, fast-paced chapters, the book effectively conveys Leng'ete's message and the power of grassroots activism. This memoir is a must-read for those interested in human rights and the fight against harmful cultural practices.
