Shortly after her family moved to the United States of America, Nyajuok found herself in another war when her family forced her into an arranged marriage at 14 years old. In this captivating memoir, Nyajuok illustrates her life story unapologetically despite coming from a patriarchal society in an East African country. Her life is a true testimony that no matter where we come from or what we have faced, the American Dream is alive and available to anyone willing to work for it. This memoir is of survival, faith, resiliency, and human potential. Without a doubt, it will bring fulfillment to everyone who reads it." 650 0 $a Refugees $z Africa, East. 650 0 $a Patriarchy 650 0 $a Arranged marriage 941 $a 1 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716035304.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F211EA1CFE8511ECB11692B73AECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
