The Virgin of Kivaled: Nana's Transformation Murigi Wainaina

Publisher Marketing: Beautiful and shapely Nana must leave her isolated forest community in Kivaled. As the top student in her class, she has won a full scholarship to study nursing in Kenya. As soon as she is separated from her family, she is exposed to a world she has never experienced before. She immediately becomes the target of uncalled for attention from none other than her benefactor; the old man of God. This is only the beginning of events that leave her bruised and traumatized as more suitors come after her. College life is fun but when drugs, fast life and deaths enter the picture, only a near death experience bring her back to her senses and in the process rediscovers the pride of a real Kivaledi girl. To complete her transformation, her path and that of her boyfriend, Chosep, who she had jilted during her high life, cross and both of them have to make tough life-changing decisions. Things have complicated further when she realizes that she is a beneficiary of part of the estate of her now dead lover, Upendo, who also contributed to most of the pain she has suffered. Will she conscientiously accept a gift that will remind her of both pain and love? How will, Chosep, her first lover, who is now back in her life, take it knowing that her riches are from a rival lover; though dead?
