Blessing is a little bit below the average Ugandan girl. And by below average, she means regarding grades.
Education, empashised a great deal in this third world country, is never all there is to a child's life. And Blessing prefers to navigate everything else except her books.
For example her relationship with family and her trusted accomplice Martha, the absurdity of the teachers who are just programmed to wallop and give homework, her classmates who scream and only look forward to break time, and not forgettting that stupid boy who keeps pinching her. That stupid boy, who tops the class at the end of every term.

In the Northern part of Nigeria people see an unmarried girl of 25years and above as a failure to her religion,culture,family,society and herself. The so called society forgets the struggles of the "unmarried girl" what she goes through emotionally, what she thinks, things she has to do to keep a relationship just to be married, decisions they make to make people around them happy, but the truth is every single girl has a story good or bad and all she needs is someone not to judge but to have a little empathy and know that she didn't plan her life. This book however is a fictional but relatable story, the story is about four young girls who have been more of sisters than friends for so many years, in good times and bad times. Their friendship was what they have for each other but like many friendships it was tested. Was it that their love wasn't love after all or was their bond not strong enough? In the end these girls made decisions that broke the ties, what they built and the future of their sisterhood.
