In Africa, there is unrest, and possibly tragedy, when new trends
clash with traditional values. With a curmudgeonly stepmother who
harasses her even as she spoils her own biological daughter,
Mungeu', the protagonist, blazes a path for herself in the face of
many odds. But things go terribly wrong when she falls pregnant.
The dilemma of whether or not to keep the pregnancy, given
society's expectations, flings this young woman into direct
confrontation with a life that is beyond her years. She is bent on
succeeding: she will keep her baby, and with her training at a
girls' craft center, start a business and bring up her illegitimate
child. But Mungeu' can only make plans as she realises before long
that the authority to dispose of them does not rest with her alone;
there are other powerful forces out there.
