Club foot is a rare congenital defect most people don't know about or pay attention to.  Congenital club foot is the most common musculoskeletal congenital anomaly in Nigeria. A study conducted in South-East Nigeria reported 3.4/1000 live births. 

The global prevalence of club foot is estimated to be between 0.6 and 1.5 to 1000 live births with around 80% of the cases being born in LMICs (low-to-middle income countries). 

According to 2014 estimate by the Global Clubfoot initiative, the prevalence of clubfoot is 1.4/1000 live births in Sweden. 

Treasure is 14 years old from Southern Nigeria, she's had club foot all her life, and this book takes us on her journey, and how well she navigates through life. 

This book is about awareness and I hope you enjoy it because it's important to me.

Ten different lives. Two boys. One night that'll bring them all together. Sixteen year old Nosa is okay with being a loner. He doesn't have social anxiety-- he's Catholic and his mum promised you can't love Jesus and have a disorder. He's just weird and he's not good at talking to people but that doesn't mean there's something wrong with him. It does mean that he and Irekan could never be friends. Irekan's parents moved them back to Nigeria to straighten him up-- literally. Being Nigerian and queer has never been easy but now he has to at least try to 'ungay' himself to keep his family together. And that means no falling in love with Nosa's stupid face. Two boys fall in love over novels, anime and rock music that's definitely going to get one of them killed. ❀Winner: 2022 Pride Awards Teen Fiction Category❀ ❀2nd Place Winner: 2022 Pride Awards❀ ❀Featured on the AmbassadorsNG reading list❀ ❀Featured on Stories Undiscovered August 2022 reading list❀ ❀Featured on AmbassadorsAF reading list❀ __Highest Rankings__ #1 wattpadnigeria (3/08/2022) #1 Africanbook (8/05/2022) #1 Africanlgbt (8/05/2022) #5 Blackboys (12/05/2022) #2 Nigerianbook (15/07/2022) #13 Young Adult Fiction (23/06/2024) **This is a bl and it features multiple queer characters.

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.
