Book III, the final installment in the Outlaw Girls Series.
Misery’s Shadow
Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery’s shadow or reflection: the fact that you don’t merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.
C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed, pt. 1 (1961)
As the last book in the Outlaw Girls series, Nafanua is about the final stage of commitment to a Sarangong freed of communist rule, the flourishing of a country freed from corrupt oppression and, above and beyond all else, the acceptance of one's self. Where the first two books focused on explosive conflict with the power to menace the world, the last is about devotion in every possible sense.
This book is dedicated to the warrior goddess in every woman.
