Pregnant for the second time before the age of eighteen, Malambo is forced into marriage to learn her lesson.
In this gripping memoir, Malambo takes us through her brutal experience as a teenage wife and mother, including physical abuse and depression, and how she picked up her life after her husband’s final attempt at ending it.
Unbow your head brings to the surface the toxic practices embedded in the traditional marriage where a wife is taught to be subservient to her husband at whatever cost, even if the price is her own life.
