In Her Wake

*WARNING* ISSUES SUCH AS HOMOPHOBIA, ABUSE AND SELF HARM ARE MENTIONED IN THIS BOOK

Vanessa Imade suffers through the normal societal pressures an average Nigerian youth faces in their early 20's. Constant nagging about relationships, high educational expectations and the unspoken demand for financial support for the family. She is exhausted and honestly, she's been exhausted for a while.

Along with the pressure she faces, she carries some mental baggage of her own and a secret. She's "a gay", something her family would never accept. Keeping this hidden has always been difficult, but as conversations at home begin to revolve around dating, marriage and settling down, the life she's built in silence begins to feel like it's on the verge of collapsing.

To make the closet she's still hiding in even more fragile, her childhood crush reintroduces herself in her life and the spark between them is harder to ignore now than it was in their tween years.

Vanessa has decisions to make, the top of the list being "Is it time to come out?" and can she face the consequences?
