Club foot is a rare congenital defect most people don't know about or pay attention to. Congenital club foot is the most common musculoskeletal congenital anomaly in Nigeria. A study conducted in South-East Nigeria reported 3.4/1000 live births.
The global prevalence of club foot is estimated to be between 0.6 and 1.5 to 1000 live births with around 80% of the cases being born in LMICs (low-to-middle income countries).
According to 2014 estimate by the Global Clubfoot initiative, the prevalence of clubfoot is 1.4/1000 live births in Sweden.
Treasure is 14 years old from Southern Nigeria, she's had club foot all her life, and this book takes us on her journey, and how well she navigates through life.
This book is about awareness and I hope you enjoy it because it's important to me.

I've succumbed to a routine lifestyle, and it's scary to give into your biggest fear every day. "So, who's the real Noah?" She asks and I'm surprised, drawing my attention back to her. "Wouldn't know. I've never met him before." My voice is a little hoarse from speaking the truth. I haven't really said this out loud before. Because... I don't really know who I am. "Well. We're gonna find him, you and I." "Are you sure about that?" I ask and she grins, holding her pinky finger out as a promise and I wrap my own around hers. "I wanna be the second person to meet the real Noah." She says with a nod like it's the final decision. "And who's the first?" I ask with amusement lacing through my words. "You." #1 in #malepov 4/19/20Complete
