Utapata Mwingine
You Will Get Another One
After the sudden death of her daughter a Kenyan woman sets out to help other parents struggling with child loss,

I loved being transported. I loved that this is a universal women's issue...that the stories have happened to women everywhere.
The honesty of the pain and grief, the civic activism
