A seven year-old girl is circumcised in a small African village. Twenty odd years down the line, the targeted part of her body takes it upon itself to explore the act and the subsequent physical and psychological trauma that this atrocity has on the girl. In examining female genital mutilation, an often spurned organ speaks up to say: "They did it; it was wrong. Why then are we still doing it?" Margaret Nyarango is a Kenyan citizen who holds an M.A in French Linguistics and a B.Ed. She has worked in various sectors including banking and education. Me, the Bud is her first book.
