ABOUT SCARS OF A WOMAN When seven-year-old Armah's mother is raped and killed by intruders in their home, her world comes crashing down. Her drunken father is no use at all and when her scheming Aunty Rose comes to live in their hut, matters become much worse. Beaten and abused, fed on only meagre rations and made to do endless chores by the foul and overbearing Rose, Armah's life is one of drudgery and untold misery. But when her father meets Christian couple, Jonathan and Rachael Kora, it seems like there may be some light at the end of the tunnel. Tricked into believing they are decent people who have her best interest at heart, Armah soon discovers they are anything but beneath the veneer of respectability, the Kora couple are dealers in misery, selling children and body parts while masquerading as the perfect couple. Now Armah realises that there is not just her sanity at stake, but her very life as well. Can she escape the clutches of the Koras before it is too late? And will her life be any better even if she does?
Tonyia J Bailey was born in London, England to Nigerian parents, Peter and Elizabeth and lived most of her life in Nigeria to learn the culture. During her youth, she developed an interest in reading story books and writing short stories. Her other interests from that age were acting, dancing and her love for fashion. Her parents usually took her to a popular Television Station for a TV series when she was 9 years of age. While in Secondary School, she wrote short plays and directed school plays for various school competitions. She was then made the President of Dramatic Society. She also attended English Linguistics at the University of Jos, Nigeria. Even after graduating with a Law degree at London South Bank University, she did not relent in her dream to pursue her passion in writing. Scars of a Woman is the first in the trilogy series, followed by Afraid of the Dark and Death Trap, being the last in the series. She also has a number of unpublished works which she will be working on getting released in the near future. Her parents gave her all the encouragement growing up and continued to nurse her talents relentlessly. She wants to use this medium to thank every single person that has provided encouragement to her during and throughout her writing process. Even though there were moments over the years she had doubts in releasing her first book, she has learnt that in life, anything you set your mind to, it is imperative to work towards achieving your goals regardless of any obstacles along the way. She intends to encourage other upcoming authors to believe in themselves and remember that there are people out there who want to hear their voice through the work of their hands.
