Set against the vibrant backdrop of Kenya, The Rescued Girl and Other Stories offers twelve sharp narratives, many told through a compelling Maasai lens. This powerful collection immerses you into the lives of girls and women navigating the clash between deep-rooted traditions like child marriage and polygamy, and the relentless currents of modern life. Beyond these cultural complexities, the stories pulse with contemporary urgency, dissecting the impact of social media, the dynamics of power, and the long reach of COVID-19.
