"From the very first page, Daré has proved, once again, that she is a masterful storyteller to be reckoned with. And So I Roar is a searing, thrilling depiction of the bonds of womanhood that guide us from the villages of Nigeria into something like hope. An engaging, engrossing, remarkable read" Tara M. Stringfellow, author of Memphis

"And So I Roar is about braving impossible odds, finding the courage to defend others, and refusing to surrender your dreams. It's a moving story of hope, healing, and the power of women standing together." Eileen Garvin, author of The Music of Bees
