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.

"What is your name? " he enquired with a staid expression. Obi's eyes roamed around still trying to ascertain the safety of their current surrounding. Her lips were still quivering out of shock and her breathing distorted. "Obiukwu" She finally let out still battling with unsteady breathing. He adjusted the cuff of his pristine white shirt and helped her up. "For a girl with a boy's name you certainly do not think like one. Usually when a female dog comes after you, you don't run towards her young puppies, you run far away from them". She adjusted her pleated skirts which had been torn while she ran frantically from the enraged beast. This boy's words were rather insulting but she swallowed any form of insult that would have ensued especially from his reminder of the stereotype that had been carved out from her name . A simple act of gratitude, for he had been her savior. Was he not a dunce for thinking that way?. She knew a lot of moronic boys and her cousin Chukwudi was the ideal example. The dog had run at the sound of his command. She walked away from him slowly hoping to see Sandra somewhere close. "Hey! You owe me a thank you and something else". She ignored him and kept walking.She hated dogs and arrogant rich boys! "My name is Obiefune!" Obiukwu stopped for a brief moment and yelled back at him "thank you! ". Obiukwu, a young selfless girl is forced to choose between love and duty when life hurls misfortunes at her. Does she end up with her first love Obiefune even when the odds are against them?

Life for Callie had never been an easy one but it was something she had gotten used to. For this emotionally lonely girl, it entailed balancing school with work, taking care of her mentally ill dad and dealing with a pointless high school drama that she had been webbed in. But when her dad got arrested for something he didn't do, Callie took it upon herself to appeal to the person who put him there. What she didn't expect was to get tangled up with the quiet, emerald-eyed Larkin Hammell and opening up her fragile heart to a boy with more baggage than she ever had. Larkin Hammell had enough scars on his face and his heart, likewise, to last a lifetime. He had become a shadow of his former self and all he wanted was to be left alone to wallow in his pain and grief. Hiding away from the world and wearing the guilt of his past on his sleeves were all part of Larkin's plans. Then everything changed when fate swept her into his life unexpectedly. Is love ever enough to fix the fragments of a broken heart or is it all you need to pick up the remaining pieces before it gets completely shattered? *** 👑1st place - Monarchy Awards (Teen Fiction Category) 👑1st place - The Innovation Awards (Romance Category) 👑1st place - The Ulven Awards (Romance Category) 👑 Winner of "Best Fantasy" Category - Nigerian Readers Choice Awards 👑3rd place - The Noble Awards (Teen Fiction Category) Readers' Reviews - "Is this really chapter 1?

Meet Obianuju Nwadike, the baby of a glamorous yet perfectly imperfect family. Between Beauty's sass, Obi's mischief, and their parents' whirlwind love story, every day feels like a scene from a high-school movie you never want to end. But life isn't all laughter and matching pyjamas. When Uju's world collides with Dozie Phillips, charming, complicated, and everything she shouldn't fall for. Secrets, heartbreaks, and unexpected truths begin to unfold. From the buzzing halls of Beacons Hill to late-night heart-to-hearts under Lagos skies, DoJu captures what it truly means to love, lose, and find yourself again. One moment, one memory, and one heartbeat at a time.
