About this ebook
When seven-year-old Armah’s mother is raped and killed by intruders in their little hut, her world comes crashing down. Her drunken father is no use at all and when her scheming Aunty Rose comes to live in their hut, matters become much worse.
Beaten and abused, fed on only meagre rations and made to do endless chores by the foul and overbearing Aunty Rose, Armah’s life is one of drudgery and untold misery.
But when her father meets Jonathan and Rachael Kora, it seems like there may be some light at the end of the tunnel. Tricked into believing they are decent people who have her best interest at heart, Armah soon discovers they are anything but beneath the veneer of respectability, the Kora couple are dealers in misery, selling children and body parts while masquerading as the perfect couple.
Now Armah realises that not just her sanity is at stake, but her very life as well.
Can she escape the clutches of the Koras before it is too late? And will her life be any better even if she does?
