(This book is suitable for teenagers between 13 and 19 years).
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, with 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 turns out, at the age of seventeen, she herself becomes 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; about how she was plagued by a deep sense of shame, debilitating guilt, utter insignificance, and the toll the physical and psychological trauma of the abuse, took on her – as 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.
