How You Grow Wings

Sinopsis

An emotionally riveting novel for fans of Ibi Zoboi and Erika L. Sánchez about two sisters in Nigeria on their journey to break free of an oppressive home.

Sisters Cheta and Zam couldn't be more different. Cheta, sharp-tongued and stubborn, never shies away from conflict—either at school or at home, where her mother fires abuse at her. Timid Zam escapes most of her mother's anger, skating under the radar and avoiding her sister whenever possible. In a turn of good fortune, Zam is invited to live with her aunt's family in the lap of luxury. Jealous, Cheta also leaves home, but to a harder existence that will drive her to terrible decisions. When the sisters are reunited, Zam alone will recognize just?how?far Cheta has fallen—and Cheta's fate will rest in Zam's hands.

Debut author Rimma Onoseta deftly explores classism, colorism, cycles of abuse, how?loyalty doesn't always come attached to love, and?the messy truths that sometimes, family is not a source of comfort, and that morality is all shades of grey.
