(This book is suitable for teenagers between 13 and 19 years)
The voiceless sobs of the helpless and how they are expected to find a way to smile, amidst their pain, even as they sing the notes of woe.
Sparkling Glass is a thought-provoking tale about rape, survival, and justice.
It is a story about Naomi, a young and beautiful girl from a village in Kogi State, Nigeria; who had great aspirations for the future.
This emotive narrative is about how Naomi at the age of thirteen witnessed her friends being gang-raped by some hoodlums in her village. And sadly, as it turned out, at the age of seventeen, she became a victim of rape at the hands of a relative in Lagos.
This literary piece is an impassioned account about how Naomi was abused and violated. And about how she was plagued by a deep sense of shame, debilitating guilt and utter insignificance. It describes the toll of the physical and psychological trauma of the abuse, how it eroded her self-esteem with each passing day, and resulted in her loathing life itself.
It is a heartrending story of the voiceless sobs of the helpless and how they are expected to find a way to smile, amidst their pain, even as they sing the notes of woe.
