  • Perfectly Imperfect

    Ruby Yayra Goka, Worldreader

    (Techmate Publishers Ltd. and Worldreader, Jan. 13, 2017)
    What constitutes perfection? Yayra Amenyo thought she had the perfect life—parents who loved her, friends she could count on, membership in the elite Maths and Science club at school, a boyfriend she had had a crush on for a very long time, and best of all, relief from inflammatory bowel disease. After an accident that killed her father and left her face and parts of her body scarred, she knows nothing about her life would ever be perfect again. Not just because her mother acts like everything is normal when it isn’t or because her boyfriend is on a break with her. Not even because she looks like a Dr. Blyte from Captain Planet or because she’s moved to a town far from anyone she knows and she has to repeat Form Two in SHS, but because she knows she’s the reason her father died that day. Just as she begins making friends and settling into her new school, people find out she uses a colostomy bag and they treat her like a freak. She forms an unlikely friendship with one of the other school outcasts, a teenaged father named Jamal.As she struggles to adjust to life in a new community far from the only place she’s ever called home, she learns to find perfection in the imperfect, find her place in her school community, and find love in the unlikeliest of places.
