Alacrimia in Layman's terms is the congenital inability to produce tears.
Some places in Africa have their norms and beliefs wrapped around age-old, blind superstitions. Especially the rural communities.
So when a young girl comes from the city to the village, and it is discovered, through a series of unfortunate events, that she won't cry, even when induced, things take a downward spin for her, as she finds herself from Osun State to Kogi State, and then Enugu State.

The Cracks We Made Holy
The Cracks We Made Holy is a story about two people who dared to love across borders - not the kind drawn on maps, but the ones etched into hearts by culture, family, and history. Ziora's world is simple: dream big, but not too big; love, but only within your tribe; and above all, don't bring shame to the family. Feranmi's world is different: life is too short for rules that keep people apart. When their paths cross in a French classroom in Enugu, attraction becomes friendship, friendship becomes love, and love becomes a quiet rebellion. But in Nigeria, love like theirs doesn't walk unchallenged. From whispered gossip to outright rejection, from loss that could shatter the strongest hearts to victories that heal old wounds, this is their journey - one of resilience, sacrifice, and a faith that even broken things can be made beautiful. Because sometimes, it's not the perfect stories that last. It's the ones that survive the cracks.Complete
