Shikò is a street child in Nairobi; her real name, Malaika, means «angel». Poverty drove her onto the streets with her mother and siblings, where daily survival is a struggle. The missionary Father Kizito reaches out to the girl and listens to her story, narrated alternating the protagonist's voice and the religious man's perspective.

Aimed at readers interested in biographies, at-risk childhood, and African social realities.
