A silent war. The type fought in the heart. It began long before I was formed.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eUdonwa's family is at war - a war of relationships, played out under the tyranny of a monster dad.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAge twelve, Udonwa has a peculiar love of her father, Reverend Leonard Ilechukwu, who favours her but beats his wife and his other children. She sees his good side: after all, he pays the school fees in advance, and tells her that she, named 'the peaceful child', is the one most likely to become a doctor in the family.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBut luck doesn't last forever. When her newly married eldest sister suddenly takes her from their family compound in Iruama, Nigeria, to live with her in Awka, Udonwa experiences violence first-hand.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLater, pieces of a sinister picture emerge that shake her life to the core. No longer the person she thought she was, Udonwa launches into a period of extreme change, and parts of her life spiral into chaos as she finds herself torn between her love for her father and an underlying need to free herself.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis vivid family saga, set in Nigeria, is engrossing, deeply unsettling and finally uplifting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Chinenye+Emezie\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eChinenye Emezie\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chinenye Emezie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47379446726819,"sku":"9781485904472","price":300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781485904472_ac8a2629-0216-414d-8ad3-a0a97de3c2aa.jpg?v=1776553163","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781485904472","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
