Story gives an insight into the chaos of war in Africa and the struggles of the people that must live through it. Reflective of the situation in Darfur. There are very few books by Ugandan writers available in the West and Kyomuhendo, who is only in her early forties, has enjoyed acclaim. Goretti Kyomuhendo was the first Ugandan woman to win the International Writing Program Fellowship at the University of Iowa (1997). Kyomuhendo won the Uganda National Literary Award for Best Novel of the Year (1999) for Secrets No More. She has published six books to date. Introduction by Austin Bukenya, an eminent African novelist. Afterword by Margaret Daymond, who is well connected in international literary circles as the two page spread in New York Review of Books on Women Writing Africa: The Southern Region proves. Goretti Kyomuhendo is one of the founders of FEMRITE, a publishing house based in Kampala, Uganda, devoted to women writers.
