"They say JOY IS ETERNAL", but for Titilayo, it feels like a fading memory."
Sixteen-year-old Titilayo is a girl of simple dreams and quiet beauty, the eldest of three, a daughter of the soil, a pride to her father and the steady hand her pregnant mother relies on-tucked away in the heart of her little community.
Naive and sheltered by the traditions of her home, she believes that life follows a predictable rhythm-until the rhythm breaks.
In a quest for a greater tomorrow, a series of devastating events shatters her world.
Titilayo is uprooted from everything she knows and thrust into the cold, unfamiliar reality of life she never imagined . From the vibrant warmth of her village to the harsh, unforgiving landscapes of a world she never asked to see, she must navigate more than just a new language. She must face the tragic facts of survival, betrayal, and the loss of her innocence.
Can a girl raised on sunshine and simplicity survive the winter of the soul? Or will the challenges of life finally break the joy she was named for?How does she carry the weight of a family when she's lost her own way home?
