Raised by a father who never protected her and a stepmother who made sure she knew she was unwanted, she never imagined that one day her late mother's family would come looking for her. Abdallah Abubakar Turaki, the Yariman Jigawa, had no intention of marrying anyone. Not after the humiliation of being abandoned two days before his daurin aure. But fate had other plans.
