Blossoms of the Savannah follows the lives of two young sisters, Taiyo and Resian who are on the verge of womanhood. Both become aware of the conflict between their personal dreams and their duty to the Nasila tradition and culture. H.R. Ole Kulet addresses the elusive concerns of female genital mutilation and early marriages among the Maa community of the Maasai and captures the reader's imagination as he traces the girls' excruciatingly painful steps to victory.
