An international adventure/thriller detailing the experiences of an American teenager in a Nigerian (West Africa) boarding school. This novel offers a unique reading experience--witty, fun, and exhilarating. The masterful suspense, action, and sub-plot will curl your toes, keep you reading all night, and leave you thirsting for more.

This debut novel explores the boarding school system, and culture of a West African country as a young and unruly American female is mandated to leave her cozy surroundings and survive in foreign and unknown waters. We witness her fear, strength, integrity, and coming of age as she struggles to fit in, master a new culture, gain a decent education, interact with her new surroundings, and deal with the crisis in her family.
