Overview
Thirteen-year-old Adi lives in west Cameroon, where she loves swimming in the river, making dolls for her little sisters, and writing new words in her notebook at school. But one day Adi’s hands start to shake with terror. Uncle Amadou—the most powerful member of her family—has declared that Adi is old enough to get married. Mom cries softly under her hijab, but Dad whispers: “Don’t worry.” He knows a place where Adi can live and learn without fear…
