The book is a story of a young girl whose epic challenges bent her to a point of attempted murder. Bomas father was Head of Chancery at the Nigerian Embassy in Paris. Her promising life turned gloomy when her father eloped with his beau to America abandoning the family in France. Her mother later died of breast cancer at home in Nigeria. A scheming uncle tried to marry her to a wealthy Muslim fleet owner. The mans attempt to rape her resulted in Boma smashing his head with a whisky bottle. Fleeing from justice, Boma landed in the home of a university couple where she suffered indignities.
