What if I don't want to marry? Lillian held her breath. She had never said the words out loud. "Not want to marry?" Her aunt frowned. What else would you do? Set in a Ugandan village, Lilian has learned to shrink herself to fit other people's ideas of what a girl is. In her village a girl is not meant to be smarter than her brother. A girl is not meant to go to school or enjoy her body or decide who to marry. Especially if she is poor. Inspired by and written in consultation with young Ugandan women, this novel is the tragic but empowering story of how a young woman finds her voice and the strength to fight for change.

Lilian’s story was heartbreaking as well as inspirational. The things she had to endure because she was a girl, the way she was treated and her desperate quest for an education broke my heart. At times the story was quite harrowing with child marriages, rape, female circumcision, and domestic violence and I felt Lilian’s pain as she faced situations that left her feeling hopeless.
I loved Lilian. She was such a strong, compelling protagonist but her story made me angry. So many young women face similar circumstances across the globe and they are denied the education they need to escape their bondage. "I Am Change" was raw, gritty and emotive. A powerful read. ( )
