Silver Lining

About the Book

Phumaphi Maseko, a young girl born into a village in Malawi - finds herself caught in a struggle against traditional, culturally imposed obstacles and family opposition to girls education.

Elizabeth, Phumaphi's mother, is prepared to risk even her marriage if this means giving her daughter a future where women would work alongside men as equally advantaged, independent and self determining individuals.
