Ada's Daughter recounts the life of Nigerian-born Jacqueline Maduneme, who endured and overcame physical and emotional pain and suffering that most would find impossible to process. This story is not so much the story of someone who lived in Nigeria as it is the story of a woman, and things that happen to us as women. Jacqui's intense account takes us from early age on a healing journey to her present success. A gifted storyteller, Jacqueline weaves a spellbinding tale of a journey that is often terrifying, but ultimately redemptive and emancipating. From an exorcism in a Nigerian graveyard to luxury hotels in Europe, Ada's Daughter presents scenes of shocking abuse and cruelty interspersed with the foibles of a colorful cast of characters and moments of great joy. An account of how one woman transcended her abusive past and self-destructive behavior to find success in her business and personal life, Ada's Daughter is also a story about a mother and a daughter, a family, and a culture that has been shrouded in mystery to most of us in the Western world.--author's website.
