"Adunni is a fourteen-year-old Nigerian girl who knows what she wants: an education. Instead, her father sells her to be the third wife of a local man eager for a son and heir. But while misfortunes might muffle her voice for a time, she realizes that she must stand up not only for herself, but for other girls, for the ones who came before her and were lost, and for the next girls, who will inevitably follow; she finds the resolve to speak, however she can-in a whisper, in song, in broken English-until she is heard."-- Provided by publisher.
