This Girl Did

Alice experienced the harsh realities of life in Uganda. Not only was it hard, but the people around her made it more complicated.

She came from a family stricken by poverty and lived in a town where education was reserved, for boys. How would you get out of a situation when you are not allowed the opportunity to an education and a life-changing career?

As a woman, Alice knows what she's capable of. And she is here to inspire all women in similar predicaments.

Inside this inspiring memoir, you'll discover:

• How a young girl changed her life by completing her education despite the struggles and problems she faced
• The intensity of a mother's love that allowed her daughter to start and finish school in a society where quality education is not freely given to girls
• A glimpse into African culture, how the culture affects the well-being of children, particularly girls—and how Alice broke the shackles of sexism and progressed in life
• Alice's courageous school journey, walking several miles barefoot, living in fear of kidnappers
• The cruel realities of arranged marriage and escaping an abusive relationship
• Miracles are true as long as you hold steadfast—and how these miracles manifested in Alice's life

When Plan A doesn't work, there is always Plan B, Plan C, and 23 more letters in the alphabet—a vital lesson Alice's mother taught her. This is the mantra that helped her thrive.
