Her spirited determination to find joy and hope in even the most difficult circumstances imaginable will “break your heart and then put it back together again” (Jenna Bush Hager on *The Today Show* ) even as Adunni shows us how one courageous young girl can inspire us all to reach for our dreams…and maybe even change the world.

The author, Abi Daré, does a beautiful job of exposing the reader to traditional cultural norms in Nigeria while also adding in characters that show the wealth and modernization of the country. The main character, Adunni, who is only 14, is dealing with the death of her mother and also forced to be the 3rd wife of an older man. Adunni suffers through this book but constantly wants to fight to have her voice heard. This book is for anyone who believes that just because a system or mindset is traditional, does not mean it needs to be accepted.
