Zeru Zeru Girl

Barbara A. Kerr’s ZERU ZERU GIRL is a heart wrenching tale, told mostly from the perspective of Alex, a woman with albinism who was smuggled out of Tanzania to the U.S. as a child, due to the practice of witch doctors hunting, maiming and murdering those with the condition for the use of body parts in their rituals. Kerr writes concisely with a level of compassion and empathy that flows through the prose, delivering an emotional punch that keeps the reader engaged throughout the harrowing journey.
