The Native Daughter (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781954423152)

The Native Daughter is a coming-of-age memoir set in colonial Kenya, where a young girl grows up in a village shaped by tradition, work, and kinship-only to see life reshaped by forces far beyond the homestead.

Through seasons of drought and harvest, laughter around the cooking fire, and the quiet responsibilities placed on children too early, she learns resilience, duty, and belonging.

Told with clarity and restraint, The Native Daughter traces how identity forms long before we have language for it, and how families preserve dignity and connection under pressure.

This intimate memoir offers a ground-level view of history-seen not only through politics, but also through the daily lives of mothers, daughters, and the communities that sustain them.
