About
The Book
Excerpt
Whenever Adunni brought up the idea of school, somehow
Mama found a way to end it. Despite the fact that she was illiterate, Mama was
sharp, hardworking and very resourceful with money. Mama had married young, as
was common in the culture, and she started to bear children as a teenager. It
was unfortunate, however, that she experienced the loss of many of those
children during childbirth. Only Adunni and her sister had survived, and Adunni
wondered often about what she could have done to save those who hadn't made it.
Adunni was tearful as she remembered how her mother had nearly died last year
during childbirth. Was every girl expected to get married and have children,
even if it killed her? Adunni didn’t want to be like other girls: she wanted to
be great! Adunni believed that to be great, she must be smart and be able to
read, and learn great things.
