Iyore had thought fathers were admirable figures, until things began to fall apart at home. Her father, Dr Otiti, began to use a crayon on her hymen until he broke it. Its a story of irreparable abandonment of girl children by mothers in the wicked world of men. Writing becomes her lifes only prop in her distress, and she turns to Auntie Adesuwa, showing her struggles and those of girls like her. We see the world through the eyes of a common fifteen-year-old teenager.
