The Jailer's Way
by Vivian LarkPublish: May 24, 2019Women's Fiction Teen & Young Adult Book Overview
At the vulnerable age of four, Theora Jailer was taught that life changes without asking for permission. Small and scared, she was taken from New York along with her two brothers to live on a coffee farm in Tanzania, Africa, where she is raised and loved by the only person her father could trust...An aging African woman named Mahtab. Mahtab's stories, music, and smile, are a moral compass and guide for Theora over the next two decades of her life as she finds the answers to the mystery of who she is. Why was she brought to Tanzania? What are the strange symbols tattooed on her wrist? Who really were her parents? Two decades change her in ways even her wild mind could never fathom. She learns through pain, fear, loss, and love, who she really is, and has to decide if fighting for justice is more important than healing her broken soul.
