Review Quotes:
"Sharon Jennings bases this moving story on real people and places she visits in Kenya. The distinct narrative voice is compelling and immersive... Eva Campbell's realistic acrylic and ink paintings capture many tender scenes between Mum and Yula. When a new little boy arrives, Yula's range of emotions is palpable, from tear-stained jealousy to anger and insecurity, to resilience and open-armed acceptance."
