Product description...

Abdul Barry, a young Muslim growing up in Guinea, is mercilessly tormented by his fellow students and teachers for his effeminate looks. Despite the love and support of his father, aunts, and one of his teachers, he suffers brutal, humiliating attacks from bullies. Things become even worse when he is sexually assaulted by his elementary school French teacher.

The only bright spot in Abdul’s life is Professor Bah, from whom he conceives an ambition to learn English and migrate to the USA. When Abdul’s sister marries a businessman from their tribe, living in Liberia, Abdul jumps at the chance to move with her and start a fresh life. However, even though he quickly makes new friends and converts to Christianity, his conversion makes him a target for Muslims, who now believe he is an apostate and blasphemer. And when he was sexually assaulted by two of his new Christian friends, he feels completely adrift.
