A young girl in a Nigerian village has modest hopes--of getting a new pair of shoes, a university degree, and even a husband--but those hopes are dashed when Boko Haram and the Islamic terrorist group attack her village. She and many other girls and women are kidnapped and taken into the forest, where they are forced to follow Boko Haram's radical beliefs. Stark, poetic vignettes relate this imaginary girl's experience and her fight to regain her freedom.
