My heart races as gunfire startles me from my sleep, and my lungs fill with smoke as I realise my village is being burned to the ground. I tremble as I discover my family is missing, but before I can find them, I am taken. With tears streaming down my face, I wonder if I'll ever see my parents and little brother again…
In a small, peaceful village in Western Africa, fourteen-year-old ¿ìk¿¿mi dreams of being like the boys, learning how to hunt and defend herself. But as her father reminds her often, in order to make her family proud she must live by the rules and marry well.
Soon, everything ¿ìk¿¿mi loves shatters in an instant. Her beloved village is raided and ¿ìk¿¿mi is taken from her family to work for Madam Tinúbú, a rich and powerful slave trader. As she begins her new life alone, ¿ìk¿¿mi's only comfort is the memory of her little brother's laughter as they played together before she drifts off to restless sleep.
¿ìk¿¿mi longs to see her family again and she knows deep down that the only way to survive her brutal new life is to be her enemy's greatest ally. When she uncovers a plot against Madam, ¿ìk¿¿mi faces an impossible decision. Can she stay faithful to a ruthless slave trader who has taken everything she ever loved if it means she might see her family again? Or will her own life and that of her family be in even greater danger?
Inspired by true events, The Stolen Daughter is a gripping and unforgettable story about overcoming unimaginable hardship against all the odds, and the unending courage and strength of women in a world ruled by men. Perfect for readers of Sadeqa Johnson, Laila Ibrahim's Yellow Crocus, and 12 Years a Slave.
