ME: my journey to freedom by Tatu Reg...
Tatu opens up about her life as an 18 year old held hostage by a close family friend and forced to be a “wife” and a mother of three.
She tells her story recounting events from the day she is locked up to the day she finally frees herself in a way that can help anyone else going through a similar or near similar case.
While we may all know or have heard about abuse, young parenting and teen marriages, a few people have experienced it. Some we know, some we don’t and many have lost their lives where they could have helped themselves or sought help.
The memoir takes through the transformation of Tatu from a fearful, naive little girl to a grown up aware of her emotions, picking herself up, learning, unlearning and relearning many things and valuing freedom.
ME is a story put together in both an entertaining and emotional way, opening us up to the life of a naive girl, a distraught family and a man deeply in love.

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Ma...
Sent by their mother to live with their devout, self-sufficient grandmother in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local "powhitetrash." At eight years old and back at her mother’s side in St. Louis, Maya is attacked by a man many times her age—and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime.

Afterlives by Abdulrazak Gurnah
Restless, ambitious Ilyas was stolen from his parents by the Schutzruppe askari, the German colonial troops; after years away, he returns to his village to find his parents gone, and his sister Afiya given away.
Hamza was not stolen, but was sold; he has come of age in the schutztruppe, at the right hand of an officer whose control has ensured his protection but marked him for life.
The century is young. The Germans and the British and the French and the Belgians and whoever else have drawn their maps and signed their treaties and divided up Africa. As they seek complete dominion they are forced to extinguish revolt after revolt by the colonised. The conflict in Europe opens another arena in east Africa where a brutal war devastates the landscape. Hamza does not have words for how the war ended for him. Returning to the town of his childhood, all he wants is work, however humble, and security - and the beautiful Afiya.
As these interlinked friends and survivors come and go, live and work and fall in love, the shadow of a new war lengthens and darkens, ready to snatch them up and carry them away.
