Hello Lovely Ladies,
Let's indulge in the end of the Summer Book Discussion.

In This Motherless Land, by Nikki May, nine-year old Funke Oyenuga's world is turned upside down when her mum, Lizzie, and younger brother, Femi, die in a car cash. Overwhelmed by grief, her dad, Babatunde, sends Funke from Nigeria to England to live with her maternal aunt and grandparents, none of whom she's ever met. Funke endured physical and verbal abuse at the hands of her new family for several years as she also battles with her spirituality and her reality. Her cousin Liv is the only bright spot in amid this new, gray country. Let's dig deeply into how Funke navigates to the change of dislocation, and unbelonging.
