A powerful, emotional tale of ambition and courage by Cameroonian-born Sahndra Fon Dufe, the Common Wealth of Nations recognized author of 'Dear momma'. (2004)
Yefon: The RedNecklace (YRN) is the first book of the YEFON trilogy series. It will have you wrapped up with emotions you didn’t know you had!
Young tribal girl, Yefon Labam, knows she’s different.
During the 1950's, in her Central African village, women are uneducated and are expected to either work on a farm or be one of many wives, but Yefon dares for more—she wants to learn how to read, even if looking at a book could mean her death. Although everyone thinks she’s an abomination, including her mother and sisters, her father knows she’s destined for greater things.
When he is murdered, Yefon clings to the gift he gave her for inspiration—a red necklace. She soon comes to realize that the necklace is no ordinary ornament, but a talisman crafted by the spirits. Yefon walks a dangerous path that could lead to her freedom…or her death.

I read this book not knowing what to expect. As I read the struggles that Yefon seen and went thru I was put in touch with emotions I had not felt in awhile. This girl was made to feel different because she dared to be something more than what they wanted her to be. She long to read and be educated despite the threat of death if she was to learn. The Red Neck her father left her makes her dreams within her reach. Was there really some magic or protection sealed in the necklace...Yefon has many dreams she wishes to obtain and reach. Don't miss read this book the struggles of one young ladies dream to change the world around her.
I received this book to review through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, all the opinions above are 100% my own.
