Summary
Northeast Nigeria. When a group of schoolgirls are abducted by Boko Haram, they are suffer incarceration, horror, and hunger. A hair-raising escape into the manifold terrors of the forest leads, not so much to freedom as to a descent into the labyrinthine bureaucracy and hostility awaiting a victim who returns home with a child blighted by enemy blood. Throughout her ordeal the narrator survives through her unflinching faith in the redemption of the human heart. -- adapted from jacket
