About This Book
A Cry in the Sun is about two young women, united to overcome the limitations of cultural conditioning. Hanatu Samson is twenty-two years old. Her Papa has given her chance of a university education to her younger brother, Tim, and attempts to force her into a polygamous marriage to a wealthy entrepreneur, Benson Abraham. When Hanatu defies her father’s wishes, she discovers a deep need to, also, defy the culture of silence over sexual abuse – her ten-year-old cousin, Esther, sobs for justice.
Following the sudden death of her mother, Hanatu goes job-hunting, where she encounters Karl Abraham. Their eyes meet, and she wonders if Karl Abraham will replace Benson Abraham.
Meanwhile, Teresa Etebio is already trapped in a loveless marriage. She suffers constant abuse at the hands of her mother-in-law, Bimbo, from whom she has escaped FGM. However, Teresa is unable to save her step-daughter, Lola, from the same ordeal. Teresa gives birth to a baby girl. Can she protect her infant from being mutilated by Bimbo?
