About this chapbook

Explore a powerful collection of short fiction that unflinchingly tackles the challenges of growing up in Northern Nigeria, where the shadows of violent extremism, societal shame, and poverty loom large. From the harrowing story of Zaire, a kidnapping survivor struggling with self-harm and the crushing weight of family disgrace, to the charming tale of Abu, a young boy determined to seek education against all odds, Nana Jodi entwines the narratives of brokenness and astonishing resilience. This book demands attention, presenting raw, emotional depth that strikes a chord while seeking the light in even the darkest corners of the Northern sky.
