Aftershocks

<b>In the tradition of <i>The Glass Castle</i>, this “gorgeous” (<i>The New York Times, </i>Editors’ Choice) and deeply felt memoir from Whiting Award winner Nadia Owusu tells the “incredible story” (Malala Yousafzai) about the push and pull of belonging, the seismic emotional toll of family secrets, and the heart it takes to pull through.</b><BR><BR><b>“In <i>Aftershocks</i>, Nadia Owusu tells the incredible story of her young life. How does a girl—abandoned by her mother at age two and orphaned at thirteen when her beloved father dies—find her place in the world? This memoir is the story of Nadia creating her own solid ground across countries and continents. I know the struggle of rebuilding your life in an unfamiliar place. While some of you might be familiar with that and some might not, I hope you’ll take as much inspiration and hope from her story as I did.” <i>—</i>MALALA YOUSAFZAI</b><BR><BR><b>​</b><b>ONE
