At the Age of Innocence

"At the Age of Innocence gives an impressive account of the untold social injustice suffered by less fortunate people. The story is so captivating and emotional that I quickly became Chima's sympathizer and the end is inspiring. I am pleased and proud to be a chief; information on chiefs and tradition are judicious and well balance."

"The content and story is very captivating and so real that any person who grew up in Nigeria and mostly in the village environment, whether rich or poor, can relate. After reading the first few chapters, I had to rearrange my planned activities for the day to enable me to read more. It is a must read for all as this sort of story (though not usually told) is very prevalent in our communities. Thanks for taking the time to bring this to life."
