Lucky Girl Sports/Recreation Osefo’s mother and first-generation immigrantsLonging for independence, a young sheltered Kenyan woman flees the expectations of her mother for a life in New York City that challenges all her beliefs about race, love, and family. Lucky Girl is at times tender, at times funny, at times uncomfortably frank. . . . A fresh look at racism, privilege, and the challenges of coming of age and falling in love between two cultures.Charmaine Wilkerson, New York Times bestselling author of Black Cake Soila
