A compelling story of an introverted teenager who in more ways than one is ostensibly beyond her years. Losing her grandmother and being left at the mercy of a capricious Nigerian society, young Obianuju is made to endure the ferocious fire of modern day servitude and child labour amidst life's many travails. She is left only to rely on the hope of one day standing a chance at a brighter future and building a path towards her liberation and existential fulfillment.

Despite the unexpected twists and turns, Uju's survival is made possible by the sheer force of her intrepid heart, the relentless will to keep going and a desire to remain faithful to the loving and wise words of her dear Nne, who espoused a bounty of virtues and sanguine grit.

"I have to catch my breath to believe this is real-that I'm marrying my true love, my heart's desire. I promise to hold our love as an everlasting love. I promise to love you, to be your hearth, to keep a flame alive for you in my heart." I beamed widely as tears of joy flowed from my eyes. "I promise that my love for you will be an ever-flowing spring, never diminished, always sweet, and life-giving. Not just for this moment, not for an hour, day, or year, I will always love you, and most of all, I promise to be just for you." He concluded, lifted my veil, and kissed me even before the priest asked us to while the congregation screamed. ♡♡ Janette Williams is a typical shy, quiet, and introverted girl because of her overly protective and dictating father.
