"With unerring insight into the lives of young Africans, carefully and wonderfully, Trudie Sturgess tells a moving story of young rape victims. Rape is a topic that many African don't perceive as a violent act. They don't think it's wrong. Sensitivities so strong this novel will outrun the grave." Laurie Gordon, Eye for talent, editor. Miss Sturgess writes so gracefully and with such restraint that all graphic sexual acts leap off the pages with an impact that resonate in one's mind long after the last page of her book is read...
