Ijeoma, a young Nigerian girl displaced during their civil war, begins a powerful love affair with another refugee girl from a different ethnic community. When the pair are discovered, they must learn the cost of living a lie amidst taboos and prejudices. Even as her nation contends with and recovers from the effects of war and division, Ijeoma seeks a glimmer of hope for a future where a woman might just be able to shape her life around truth and love.

What it means to grow up and discover you have feelings for other girls in deeply religious Nigeria where all homosexuality is punished by stoning. I really enjoyed this one. The storytelling was vivid and engrossing.
