Description

Set against the backdrop of pre-colonial eastern Africa, Crossing Rivers tells the story of a young girl's life forever changed by a single trade. Her starving parents exchange her for food with an old woman, and she is forced to adopt a new culture through initiation rituals.

As she navigates this unfamiliar world, she falls in love, but her happiness is short-lived. The arrival of a new reality brings about profound changes, leaving her to confront the harsh realities of her new life.

This powerful and thought-provoking novel, Book One in The Agikuyu Series, offers a unique perspective on the lives of people from this region, allowing readers to gain insight into their customs and traditions.
