"Set around the world--the bustling streets of Lagos, the arid gardens beside the Red Sea, an apartment in Paris, the rain-washed suburbs of the Pacific Northwest--this collection of nine stories is a masterful exploration of life's uncertainty that will draw readers in and keep them riveted."

I had the pleasure of taking a Literary Arts Class led by Kesha and we talked her into doing one more session so we could talk about her first book, No God Like A Mother. Interesting to see how the title connects with the stories. Tough, moving glimpses into the lives and power of women. She was born in Chicago and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, and now she lives here in Oregon, with her family. ( )
