In this spellbinding memoir, popular CNN anchor Zain Asher pays tribute to her mother's strength and her determination - grounded in the traditions of Nigerian parenting - to raise four successful children in the shadow of tragedy. Living in Brixton and awaiting the return of her husband and young son from Nigeria, Obiajulu Ejiofor received shattering news. There had been a fatal car crash, and one of them was dead. In 'Where the Children Take Us', Obiajulu's daughter, Zain Asher, tells the story of her family and her mother's deeply personal fight to protect her children from the daily pressures of poverty, crime, and racism in 1980s and '90s South London as a widowed emigrant.
