Protagonist: Nadia Habeeb

Burning Bright is not a story about statistics,but of an over-achieving young lady, who is determined not to let sickle cell anemia stand in her way. Without notice, difficulties that Nadia Habeeb did not foresee complicate her health and love life, changing everything immensely. With the walls of life itself closing in on her, will she stand conqueror this time? If she does, what will be her fate back home in Nigeria, with a closed-off heart, and physical challenge? This is a story of a family struggling to maintain faith and hope in the face of severe emotional challenges, social upheaval, medical necessity, and the paradox of humanity. Set within the complexities of Nigerian culture, it is the story of young people trying to make their way in a world they didn't make. It is also a story of pain and redemption, of love lost and found, generational conflict, and the emergence of true faith.

BlueInk Reviews described this story as, "...a solidly told story with nice detail about Nigerian culture and family dynamics and fully rendered characters..."

Foreword Clarion reviews said about it, "...In Burning Bright, Maryam Awaisu introduces people to the realities of living with this disease in a novel that is as entertaining as it is informative."

Steve Devitt had this to say: "The strongest parts of the book are Nadia's adventures within the healthcare system. Anyone who has grasped the missing emergency button will relate to this. Ms. Awaisu deals with the Nigerian medical system with sensitivity that is not lacking in Black humor."

Farrah Ahmed wishes for a cliché life, one in which she would have a pleasant childhood, become a rebellious teenage girl and graduate college with a huge smile on her face. However, at 22, she's drowned in responsibilities that chip at her resilience everyday, trying to keep up with the bills for her mother's chemotherapy. Her persistent job hunt lands her employment at Z.B company, the first good thing that's happened to her in more ways than one. Zayyad Bilaal, her boss isn't what she expected. Call it her obsession with the cliché, she expected him to be some brutish, arrogant bigot that's out to get her life, but she's pleasantly surprised to see that the handsome Somali man is nothing of the sort.....to her, at least. Like every cliché personal assistant in every stupid romance novel she's read, her heart goes against her will to fall in love with her boss. Despite the loss of control of her own feelings, she revels in the fact that she's finally living a normal life without the evils of her past holding her down. Its not too long before the antagonist of her story, in the form of one blast from the past comes barrelling into her life, and soon she's loosing grasp of her sanity as secrets she'd never imagine begin to unravel. Just when life had started looking up for her, it swept her up in a flurry of heartache and vileness. Farrah is made to choose between Zayyad and conceding to her mother's wish, knowing well that her picking one would lead to the loss of the other. Secrets unravel, facades are torn away, and nothing is ever what it seems to be in the life of Farrah Ahmed. ~Ameenarrh.
