Description
Rough Silk is the firsthand coming-of-age story of a neglected girl championed only by an "ordinary" man who decides to claim and cherish her as his beloved daughter. Rough Silk also explores the mother-daughter dynamic and defies conventional assumptions. Set against the backdrop of a changing Kenya, Deborah Auko Tendo's Rough Silk transports readers through trauma and healing, reunion and abandonment. Rough Silk shines a unique light on the past and present realities of polygamy, tribalism, domestic violence, political power, the HIV pandemic—and the orphans it left in its wake, and the bonds between father and daughter that are thicker even than blood.
