(3) 4-6 Namelok, a twelve-year-old Maasai girl, hopes to go to school and postpone the female circumcision and arranged marriage that are part of her tribal culture. She and her family struggle with the changes and pressures facing the Maasai in contemporary Kenya. Kessler's readable story does not shy away from complex topics.
