My Review:-The story is set in 1967. It's the time of the Nigerian Civil War and during the brutal Biafran genocide. We are with Ngozika, a young Igbo woman, as she takes us with her on her journey a better life. Ngozika must keep her daughter Udoka and son Emeka safe at any cost. Ngozika decides to take her children to where her mother and brother are, a village called Ogwuma. With the help from a Yoruba soldier she manages to take a bus. Not long before Ngozika has to go back to sort things out, but leaves her children with her mother and brother. But things don't turn out right, on her return back to Ogwuma she finds out her brother has been killed and her children are gone. Finding out her children are now in Umuahia, she must get there no matter how hard it's going to be or how long it takes her. This is an emotional story, of not just one woman but of many, showing how The Women of Biafra take control after the husbands are either fighting or dead
