A story set in Kenya's Kerio Valley about the friction between scientific truth and the oral traditions that hold communities together. When the legends we inherit turn out to rest on hidden human effort, what do we owe to the people who carried that weight, and what do we owe to the truth? For Grade 8 readers navigating their own questions about loyalty, integrity, and what it means to grow up inside a story larger than themselves.
The Half-Finished Bridge
A Kenyan story about the legends we inherit, the truths we uncover, and the bridges between them.
