Fifteen years old Majuni has one chance to escape before dawn, before the wedding drums begin, before she becomes a wife to a man she's never met. But when her escape goes wrong and she finds herself alone in the Tanzanian wilderness, hunted by her own family and facing a terrifying encounter with a hyena, she must summon strength she didn't know she had. Based on true events, Majuni is a gripping coming of age story about a girl who chooses education over marriage-and a father who must decide whether tradition is worth losing his daughter forever.
