A Discovery of Her (Paperback)

This is a beautiful coming of age story about a girl trying to find her identity and place in life.

It is set in an African village, which, despite modern day technology, still clings to traditions.

Abandoned as a child, she's adopted by a kindly man who brings her up as his own among his children. Under his generosity she grows into a young woman, bridging modernity with their traditional household and the challenges that come with it.

Though she is seen as a foreigner by their neighbours and is often teased for her looks, in her father's house she finds happiness, acceptance, and eventually love.
