Edición en Inglés
A circle of a young girl's suppressed voice for justice is a true story of the author, Halalelo (not her real name). The book outlines injustices that Halalelo observed and endured as a child at home, in the community and at school as a young girl. At home, the first injustice was extremely challenging household chores that her mother endured without complaining or asking to be assisted.
Secondly, how her mother treated her father who was a migrant worker and coming home once a month was regarded as injustice.
Lastly, how his father left behind two of her cousins who were of their same age and took only her and the two sisters to town every time he came home injustice because it was dividing a family that lived together.
Halalelo attempted to ask her mother and grandmother about her resentment but was harshly reprimanded not to ask, because she was a child. Everyday occurrences crushed the young girl. She often went to a pit toilet to cry whenever she had witnessed something she could not bear. From that age, before she could even start with formal schooling, Halalelo resorted to finding a way to fight those injustices because she was not allowed to ask.
However, she became even more observant to every little detail of what was happening around her. She isolated herself from the rest and was always very quiet, frustrated, bitter and angry towards everyone. She fought with people and regarded herself as everyone's enemy in the family.
Time to start school came. Halalelo remained the quiet, bitter, and observant young girl from primary school. Many heartbreaking incidences occurred, and she ended up carrying a knife in her schoolbag.
