Age twelve, Udonwa has a peculiar love of her father, Reverend Leonard Ilechukwu, who favours her but beats his wife and his other children. She sees his good side: after all, he pays the school fees in advance, and tells her that she, named 'the peaceful child', is the one most likely to become a doctor in the family. But luck doesn't last forever. When her newly married eldest sister suddenly takes her from their family compound in Iruama, Nigeria, to live with her in Awka, Udonwa experiences violence first-hand. Later, pieces of a sinister picture emerge that shake her life to the core. No longer the person she thought she was, Udonwa launches into a period of extreme change, and parts of her life spiral into chaos as she finds herself torn between her love for her father and an underlying need to free herself."-- $c Back cover 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a Families $z Nigeria $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nigerian fiction (English) $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Nigerian fiction (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01037596 651 0 $a Nigeria $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Nigeria. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205229 655 0 $a Nigerian fiction (English) 655 2 $a Fictional Work $0 (DNLM)D022922 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021552.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DB97A2CEEE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
