An aspiring writer and university graduate, she has a great job, a vibrant social life, and a future filled with possibility. But fate disrupts her world when she falls for Armand, an American Marine stationed at the U.S. Embassy. Her mother, a high court judge in Ghana who endeavors to keep her anchored to home, disapproves of her choice. Against her mother's wishes, Lola plans a future with Armand in America. But nothing is as simple as it seems. In fact, the young African graduate has no idea that her real journey is just beginning: she has traded her care-free life in Senegal for the perilous existence of an undocumented immigrant in America, a life featuring a darkly comic catalog of Dickensian characters, not to mention a fundamentalist church. Harrowing, eye-opening, and utterly unforgettable, Daughter in Exile is a story about motherhood, love and what defines us all"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Illegal immigration $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Immigrants $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Senegal $v Fiction. 651 0 $a United States $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 10 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314024747.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010032256.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20231003010235.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011409.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230603010455.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230512010824.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20230420010113.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230404010838.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230221011436.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230202010341.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=50CCE7A6A2C711ED850ED7DB26ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
