WHY I WROTE A BOOK FOR TEENAGE GIRLS

By Daisy Kosgey Mugiira – (Author, Dear Little Sister and Founder, Dear Little Sister Foundation)

The struggle was real. Our hope was cut short by a teenage pregnancy.

This motivated me to write to my dear little sisters to ensure none of them falls into the same trap. I thought and still believe that putting the story in writing would help me reach more girls worldwide.

As we celebrate the International Day of the Girl Child Today, I am still disturbed by the high number of teenage pregnancies in Kenya and Africa. I, through our Dear Little Sister Foundation, strive my best to ensure the rate decreases.

I also hope the message will reach millions of vulnerable girls wherever they are in the world.

With your support too, we can take the message to more girls.

A synopsis of the Novel is as below;

Cheptoo, a teenage girl brought up in a staunch Christian family, gets pregnant in her final year in High School. Despite her strong sense of discipline, hard work and constant guidance from her parents, she falls victim to this trap due to peer pressure and negative influence from her bosom friend Marie, who introduces her to male lovers. Cheptoo’s life takes a terrible twist as the pregnancy forces her out of school and in turn her father disowns and drives her away from home.

Cheptoo leads a devastating life for several years with dwindled academic, social and economic ability. Luckily, through a Good Samaritan, she goes back to school, recollects her life and eventually becomes a successful medical doctor. In this novel, Cheptoo writes a letter to her little sisters sharing her experiences and advising them on how to avoid the mistakes she made and lead a better quality life.

Dear Little Sister is a life transforming story aiming at enlightening girls and young ladies while inspiring hope to those already faced with teenage challenges
