The unforgettable, inspiring story of a teenage girl growing up in a rural Nigerian village who longs to get an education so that she can find her “louding voice” and speak up for herself, The Girl with the Louding Voice is a simultaneously heartbreaking and triumphant tale about the power of fighting for your dreams.

Despite the seemingly insurmountable obstacles in her path, Adunni never loses sight of her goal of escaping the life of poverty she was born into so that she can build the future she chooses for herself - and help other girls like her do the same.

Her spirited determination to find joy and hope in even the most difficult circumstances imaginable will “break your heart and then put it back together again” (Jenna Bush Hager on The Today Show) even as Adunni shows us how one courageous young girl can inspire us all to reach for our dreams...and maybe even change the world.

okay, hoping to start this one friday or Saturday!

I'm going to dive into this tomorrow!

Starting this now!

Prologue: (view spoiler)[I'm just going to say that I'm very excited to dive into this. Please be good! (hide spoiler)]

Ch 1-14: (view spoiler)[So far it's pretty interesting listening to this right now. I absolutely love the accent and think the narrator is lovely. I was every excited for her to meet the other wives and I thought it was a bit eye opening about the baby comments (girls vs. boys). I'm excited to see what the rest of this book will be like.

Ch 15-28: (view spoiler)[Honestly telling someone to not cry while they are crying doesn't sound like great advice. I also died with the way she said champagne because that's how I saw it with my family. Oh man. That definitely made me smile. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 29-42: (view spoiler)[Blegh, not a huge fan of Big Daddy. I'm glad Adunni avoided him and has Kofi to help. (hide spoiler)]

43-Finish: (view spoiler)[Ooo I liked this one. Especially with how this ended. (hide spoiler)]
