    About this ebook

    Nyangi's boyfriend commits suicide after seeing that his future is bleak and without hope. In a village where freedom is bought and schools burried in the valley of oblivion, the youths have no choice but to fight for their rights. 

    A tale with twists and turns that leaves the mouth wide open and a story that leaves a great impact in our current society that is doomed with corruption.
