Summary:

Everyone knows her by name but nobody has actually seen her real face before. Maybe they have— yeah, maybe when she was a child, where she was flying around her home like a housefly—but that was long, long ago. And even though history does repeat itself sometimes, but not when its history has expired. And now everyone is eager to see Iya’s face after the fire. But has Iya found the courage to do that at this moment? Will she forgive her violator? This is a conquering true story of survival against all odds and an admirable illustration of the extraordinary achievements we can reach when hope and faith endure. This is how one young girl rose above abuse growing up in Sierra Leone, and how she is making a difference in the world in her own small way.
