Zainab Musa Bichi grew up in Hausawa Zoo Road, where her father drove a keke and her mother scrubbed floors for a politician's family. To the world, she was just another poor Hausa girl. To herself, she was a fighter with dreams bigger than the walls of her hostel at Bayero University.
In the crowded corridors of Ramat Hostel and the noisy streets of Coke Village, Zainab sells kosai, perfumes, and alawar madara to pay her fees. Her classmates laugh, her relatives whisper, and suitors line up with empty promises. Still, she holds onto her faith, her books, and her dignity.
But life in Kano is not soft.
Her aunt calls her mother Bare- an outsider.
Her hostel mates think she is too proud.
And her path soon collides with Fahad Nasiru Galadima, the arrogant son of a former minister, who has everything she doesn't - money, privilege, and a past drenched in sin.
This is a story of fire and faith. Of poverty and pride. Of a girl who learns that sometimes, burning softly leaves the brightest light.
Behind her eyes is pain. Behind her silence, a storm. Behind her journey... Kano burned softly.
