ABOUT
THE BOOK

Their relocation to their rural home heralds a cultural alienation born of their refusal to succumb to Female Genital Mutilation and early marriages.
In pursuit of the delicate and elusive social-economic and cultural balance in Nasila, Ole Kaelo, the girls’ father is ensnared by a corrupt hell-bent extortionist, Oloisudori Lobnkiyaa. To extricate himself, Ole Kaelo sends his daughters into a flat-spin labyrinth from which they have to struggle to wriggle out. In this spell bound narrative, the author captures the reader’s imagination as he traces the girls’ excruciatingly painful steps to victory.
