Publisher's Synopsis
Cash Onadele (Aiyeko-ooto) tells a social sardonic and emotional tale. It is colloquially explained away, but it is, in truth, contentious. You may grab your handkerchiefs and take a seat. Brungdee Heartaway is a dreamy wannabee. She is desperate for a better life for her fatherless son and herself. But to get out of this ghetto, she must win three rounds of national contests. In addition, she must beat the attacks of her own mind, rattlesnakes, and broken reeds; she calls neighbors, friends and family. Now, she must prepare, fight and win, a slim but special opportunity, opened by an ivy league university. How does she turn disadvantages of her handicap, venoms of rattlers, and dysfunctional family protests to support?
