Most of the time when Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is decried, it is seen as a ‘feminist thing’. The society sees it as no big deal. After all, it does not kill. Many educated and informed people actually believe it to be an effective way to curb promiscuity and instill morals in girls.

What we don’t see, what nobody talks about is the life-long pain and torture this barbaric practice brings. FGM is not just wrong, it is inhumane. Sufferers have to go through life with its ill-effect every day of their lives and many of them cannot even talk about how it affects them.

This is one of the keys points of Wrecked where the main character is a beautiful and accomplished young woman carrying around the pain of FGM. Anaya married into a very successful family in Nigeria but could not run away from her past. But her pain did not stop with her, it affected her husband, her family and everything about her existence.

Here is a blurb of the book:
‘An old woman. A sharp knife. That was all it took to wreck a life. Anaya Owhonda is beautiful, intelligent, provocative, and unattainable. Uninterested in the boring men of Aba, she left for Abuja in search of a husband. And when she won the affections of Jubril Rufai, the most eligible bachelor in town, it seemed the stars are aligned to get her the life of her dreams. But for every action, there must be consequences. And though this consequence took seventeen years to come home to roost, it could spell the destruction of this embattled love affair’.
