This may be a real-life case of poverty, sexism, and injustice, but this is also a success story of resilience and the relentless pursuit of dreams through education-the life story of a strong woman who persevered and confidently believed in herself. Since the beginning of time, society has always positioned women below men. This has been the case wherever you go-from the most advanced cities down to the less-developed places. Fundamental human rights and privileges are stripped from women just because they're not men. Countless historical records show how women are treated to uphold the importance of gender roles and stereotypes. Men are eager to move mountains just to prevent women from making a name for themselves. You've seen how young women struggled to voice out and be heard for their right to almost everything: education, employment, freedom... You've heard about brave women being ridiculed and bashed-tortured for speaking their minds and going against a system designed to allow men (and only them) to soar high. Alice's experienced these exact harsh realities of life from a young age in Uganda when it was under the dictatorship of Idi Amin. It was hard, and the people around her made it more complicated. She came from a family stricken by poverty and lived in a town where education was only available for boys. How will you get out of your situation when you are not allowed to take your best shot at getting a life-changing career? But as a woman herself, Alice knows what she's capable of and she is here to inspire all women in a similar predicament to her in the past. Inside this inspiring memoir, you'll discover: ●A life-changing story of how a young girl changed her life by completing her education despite the struggles and problems she faced the intensity of a mother's love that allows her daughters to start and finish school in a society where quality education is not freely given to girls a glimpse into African culture in the past, and how the culture affects the well-being of children, particularly girls - and how Alice broke the shackles of this exact sexism and helped herself move forward ●Alice's courageous school journey, including walking several miles barefoot and being paranoid of kidnappers at a time when children going missing was a rampant case ●How a young girl experienced some of the cruel realities of arranged marriage and how she freed herself from an abusive relationship ●Miracles are true as long as you do your best and never give up - and how these miracles manifested in Alice's life and much more. Alice's story is a prime example of rising from adversity. She had nothing but dreams and a drive for purpose. When Plan A doesn't work, there is always Plan B, Plan C, and 23 more letters in the alphabet-that's how Alice's mother taught her. This is the mantra that helped her thrive.
