When reading the harsh reality which was Yaa Serwaa SomuahÂ’s African childhood, we will want to shut our eyes and shake our heads in disbelief. But we must open our eyes wide to this true, illuminating memoir. Like a one-two punch, YaaÂ’s book delivers dual must read messages. The first is about the everlasting damage done to children when the parents to whom they are entrusted neglect their responsibility.
The second message is about the terror experienced by HIV/AIDS infected persons. Fearing the painful rejection that is sure to come, the realization that they have contracted HIV/AIDS often sends its victims into denial and hiding.
Bonus Section:
Yaa Serwaa Somuah has added a bonus section which includes her writings about practical ways of managing our day to day relationships with our children as we help streamline their Lives.
