What an amazing little book. Besides the insights to Nigerian tribal customs and how they've changed with all the influx of outside(Western) influences, the author hits the nail on the head about how hard moms work to earn those 'joys' of motherhood. She also hits it pretty well about how no matter how hard we try to steer the offspring in the 'way they should go', the kids will chose their own path, and that path might not look at all like we imagined it would. All in all, I recommend this book highly.
