We Need New Names

Written by NoViolet Bulawayo

Narrated by Robin Miles

An eye-opening literary debut that explores poverty and the perseverance of a young girl.--Darling is only ten years old, and yet she must navigate a fragile and violent world. In Zimbabwe, she grasps memories from before their homes were destroyed by paramilitary policemen, before the school closed, before the fathers left for dangerous jobs abroad. She has a chance to escape to America and searches for its famous abundance only to find that her options as an immigrant are perilously few.
