The Unripe Fruit

This book is about some taboos among the Igbo people of Southeastern Nigeria. They are not the kind of topics for normal open conversations but, rather, are the sort of things whispered between members of a family or among friends. The victims suffer in silence without recourse to the laws of the land. There is often no means of escape for them. Everyone pretends they do not exist. This makes it almost impossible to tackle the exclusion, discrimination, or abuses within the community.
