After a heap of broken promises and a failed marriage, Cindy Mbah, is more than ready to start over. She packs up and moves to the big city of Lagos.

They called it The List. Not officially. Never on paper. But every woman in the compound knew-when the gray van came, someone's name had been added. Folake wrote her own name down first. Kemi jumped from a balcony rather than be taken inside. Funmi has spent twelve years searching for a man who vanished. And Nneka kept a box under her bed for twelve years-until today. Now their stories are connecting. Through a notebook in Enugu. Through a forum post in London. Through a name no one has spoken in twenty years: Tunde Adebayo. The List was meant to erase them. Instead, it's about to make them impossible to ignore.

Every morning the old griot asks the same question. Every morning the boy answers yes. He does not know yet that this is a vow. He does not know what it will cost him to keep it. He does not know that an army is already moving toward the village of Djenné - or that the old man who raised him has been preparing for this day for fourteen years. He only knows the ache when he wakes. The warmth deep in his chest that has no name. The dream voice calling a name he cannot quite hear. Tonight, everything burns. Tomorrow, he runs. I WILL REMEMBER

She lied about having a husband. He showed up to propose. Aalia doesn't believe in love. Dr. Zain doesn't believe in giving up. Now there's a nikah tomorrow-and no one is ready. Slow burn.

For the daughters who watched their mothers endure more than they should have. For the hearts that built walls in the name of survival. May you one day meet a love that feels like safety. That feels like mercy. That feels like Allah answering a prayer you were too afraid to make. And to the One who writes better stories than we ever could -Ya Allah, this is Yours before it is mine. This is my first ever story, so I beg you to be patient with it🙏 and also, thank you for giving My Heartbeat Is You a chance.

A single mother, Tsitsi has build up so much hatred for men and has put them in a shell of selfish human beings that her ideologies have become those of having her guards up and seeing men as only narcissistic beings. Part of her inanimate fear emanates from the fact that her former lover and father of her only daughter deserted them in a time of need. Others, from the ideologies of her own mother. Another woman who was raised as an only daughter by her single mother. For Tsitsi this seems to be history repeating itself. Put more forward; a generational curse. The tables however turn, when we are introduced to Keith who is a recent but unemployed graduate. He ferries through a life of struggling after supposedly, deserting his pregnant girlfriend and stepdaughter. It builds up on his own life struggles, his emotional turmoil and how, though society shuns and looks at the male figure as to be the sole provider, it's not an ideology that still has to stand in the 21st century Zimbabwe. The story builds on how a depressed African man and woman realise that anything taught by their fathers and forefathers might really not apply in today's world.
