When Anita's mother dies, the heart monitor flattens into a straight line - a line her mother could never draw. That moment changes everything.
At sixteen, Anita becomes the mother of three siblings in the soot-stained city of Port Harcourt. While other girls dream of school and love, she learns to trade both for survival - selling zobo by the roadside, burying her tears beneath duty. Life takes more than it gives: her father, her dreams, her body, her freedom.
When a boy named Kenneth offers her a glimpse of tenderness, it feels almost like healing - until loss returns, sharper than before. From the farms of the village to the glittering loneliness of the city, Anita's life becomes a series of choices made in the dark, each one carving her into someone she never planned to be.
In Straight Lines, I tell a story of womanhood, survival, and the cruel poetry of fate - where love comes too late, and the lines we draw to hold ourselves together don't always stay straight.

Life is hard, but despite their poverty, they are content, finding joy in small moments and relying on each other for strength.
