Beneath the Tamarind Tree: A Story of Courage, Family, and the Lost Schoolgirls of Boko Haram

Beneath the Tamarind Tree is a gripping and indispensable account of the brutal abduction of Nigerian schoolgirls by Boko Haram terrorists, providing a stark reminder of the great unfinished business of the 21st century: equality for girls and women around the world.

With unprecedented access to a group of girls who made it home, Isha Sesay follows their journeys of sisterhood and survival, delving into the Nigerian government’s inadequate response to the kidnapping and exposing the hierarchy of how the news gets covered.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the importance of gender equality and the power of resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity.
