'I AM Bodel' follows the downward spiral a young fifteen-year-old girl called Bodel experiences when she learns that her parents are not really who they say they are. Having struggled with low self-esteem and self-worth for most of her life, Bodel sees this as the last straw. Struggling to deal with her traumatic experiences, Bodel doesn't open up to anyone, until one unique visit at the library changes everything. Elystan Lambert, from the foreword - The first time I read this story, it brought tears to my eyes. I highly recommend that every person, especially young people, read this book-it will change your life forever. Editor, Xulon Press - The mistreatment Bodel experiences from those at school, and even the words her mother uses to describe her hair, demonstrate how easily our words and actions can affect young children just learning about themselves. The author appropriately illustrates the inner turmoil in Bodel due to others' views of her unique personality and appearance.Desiri Okobia is an author, speaker and secondary school English teacher living in London, UK.
