Heart-wrenching story of a young Nigerian girl betrayed by her father, then husband, then manager. She is depicted so beautifully, retaining kindness, hope, and a deep sense of purpose through all of her suffering.  Her spirit is what makes it possible to read through the traumatic things she ensures, along with three kind friends. It comes across as a song, a plea for the women and girls of Nigeria to be freed from inhumane treatment. The audio narrated by Adjoa Andoh is superb - highly recommend.
