God's Children Too

Unspeakable and unforgiveable incestuous sexual molestation sets the stage for a cascade of negative events that unfold in the life of a young Nigerian girl by the name Ify. Her morals warp. Her self-esteem disintegrates and she is psychologically damaged to the point of becoming a sex addict. As if that were not bad enough, Ify's dire economic circumstances combined with her loose morals to press her into a life of high class prostitution. She eventually comes to America by the grace of God or fate, hoping to dramatically turn her life around for the better. What becomes of that hope? This superbly crafted biographical faction (conflation of fact and fiction), presents the reader with yet another one of Emeka Aniagolu's page-turners. It is gripping from start to finish. It is brutal in its honesty and sweepingly majestic in its literary finesse and elegance. It is a tragic tale told with the aid of beautifully poetic narrative prose.
