Nigerian-born Igbo novelist Unigwe's novel follows the plight of four sex workers, Sisi, Ama, Efe, and Joyce, "this pack of warrior-sisters," as described in Ikhide R. Ikheloa's 2009 review, determined to "force down the doors of poverty and hopelessness that forced them away from home. They go out daily in search of lonely men – and wealth, the new measure of respect back home in Nigeria." Inscribed copies scarce in retail.
