The Budding Tree

About 20% of known pregnancies end up in miscarriages. 35% of women who experience miscarriage end up in depression within two weeks of their loss. Yet we still whisper about the issue. The Budding Tree is a book that encourages vulnerability. Through the main character Awiti, the book speaks about the pain of miscarriages through the eyes of a modern woman and a traditional African Woman. It also speaks about the role men play in the lives of such women. The book promotes awareness and eradication of related stigmas.
