Synopsis

"Superbly written, darkly intriguing, PIGMENT by @StoryMatter is a #mustread #thriller with a real twist!" - BookViral Winner of the LYRA Award for Mystery / Suspense / Thriller International Book Awards Finalist in the Fiction: Cross Genre Category Young American Aliya Scott travels to Tanzania to help children with her condition. There, people without pigment in their skin are called “zeru-zeru,” it means “ghost,” and they are believed to possess magical powers. When Aliya goes missing, her father sets out on a mission to find her. He soon discovers that she was up to more than teaching the alphabet and handing out sunblock. With each step, he learns more about his daughter and a country rooted in ancestry, rich with resources, full of mystery and conflict, and a world of witch doctors and foreign plundering, with little transparency and less justice. From the shadow of the Mukuyu Tree, he follows her “ghost” to the head of the dragon in Europe. But will he reach Aliya before it is too late?

Tears for my Grandma Easter Originally I thought Ms. Topper had a very vivid imagination until I did a quick Google search. I had no idea that the nightmare I was reading about was the reality for some albinos in Africa. If my albino grandmother had been born in/around Tanzania this could've been her......more
