  In this remarkable story, Adunni, the main character, depicts ambition fuelled with a burning desire to succeed despite all odds. Tales of this type still abound in Lagos, and they are portrayed in the media daily. Adunni is hailed as the poor girl with a rich mind, "Sherlock Holmes," who never stops asking intelligent questions, a child-bride, and a strong-willed girl who grew up fast due to the circumstance her parents put her through. However, she had the guts to pursue the life she wanted. - An education by any means necessary.  Adunni finally got her groove back after reading such an easy book, I could relate to the characters there. the harsh and despicable reality of Lagos till date. I would recommend this book to my friends and would love to see it turned into a film.

He is one of many carers who look after a sick parent. Globally, there are lots of carers who are faced with this predicament - having to grow up fast, being mentally and emotionally scared by such events that altered their young years, whilst they hope for a better future. Today, we celebrate China's Ou Yanglin, 7, who takes care of his disabled dad who suffered a spinal cord injury and has left him bedridden.


Grown up

His wife walked out of the family with their daughter because she could not handle the situation, leaving Ou as the primary carer for his dad which is also sapping the family's finances. Such a touching plight - My heart goes out to him.
