A richly detailed picture of the challenges and hardships
confronting indigenous village peoples in contemporary Kenya.
Hanny Lightfoot-Klein, author, Prisoners of Ritual; Children's
Genitals Under the Knife; The Doctor and the Poet
Steeped in wisdom and conflict, these pages tell a poignant, vivid
tale of Kenyan sisters who struggle for a brighter future against
the bonds of cultural traditions and sacrifices. The author writes
with a calm authority, her prose richly detailing the setting and
its people. Kirsten Johnson is a remarkable new voice writing in
the tradition of authors such as Chitra Divakaruni and Alexis D.
Pate.

Institute, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Kirsten Johnson's first novel, Footsteps, opens the door to life
in a traditional, east Kenyan village. Johnson creates deep layers
of authenticity, describing faces in firelight, capturing village
customs and dialogue, and introducing us to fascinating words in
the native languages of Swahili and Kitharaka. One wonders how on
earth she came so close to the intricacies of the circumcision
ceremonies of young teen boys and girls. She writes with great
sensitivity to the feelings of those circumcised, as well as the
often conflicting perspectives of the adults surrounding them. With
all the shrill debate and despair over female genital mutilation
and Africa's HIV/AIDS rates, it is a relief to read about young
girls' actual experiences, their anxieties, pain and even triumph,
as they create new paths, leading away from those of their
brothers, fathers and lovers..

When you read Footsteps, you can almost smell the smoke of the
cooking fires, hear the rhythm of African song and see the red clay
of the footpaths around Kanini's village. In short, Kirsten Johnson
has made the Kenyan bush come alive
Ms. Johnson's characters are Kenyans struggling to make sense of
the changes taking place all around them. The protagonist, Kanini,
faces challenges all her life - physical challenges, for sure, but
more importantly, challenges to her beliefs and upbringing.
Tradition has given a number of people the power to control her
life, and they do ... forcing her to set aside her hopes and
dreams. But somehow she survives and, in a sense, prevails over
these setbacks and disappointments.
Kanini's experience can help Americans better understand why
Africa continues to struggle. But in the shadows of this struggle,
we also find seeds of hope in the form of Kanini's sister, Gatiria,
and a new generation that is ready to lead the people forward.
