A Woman, A Mischief At fifty-six, Eniola is everything her family once prayed for. Respected businesswoman. Church leader. Provider. Survivor. The first person in generations to escape the quiet poverty that swallowed both sides of her family. But inside the silence of her success lives a question she has spent decades avoiding: What did it cost her to become this woman? Born into a crowded polygamous household in southwestern Nigeria, Eniola grows up brilliant, disciplined, and dangerously hopeful. While beauty opens doors around her, poverty keeps shutting them. Denied university despite extraordinary academic promise, she leaves home young and enters Life carrying faith, ambition, and an unspoken terror of becoming trapped like the women before her. As years pass, Eniola builds a life through ruthless discipline and moral restraint, refusing the shortcuts many around her accept for survival. Her rise appears miraculous. Yet beneath her success, strange prophecies, fractured memories, emotional isolation, and buried grief begin gathering like shadows. Then old memories begin returning. A hospital corridor. A missing truth. A decision nobody fully understands. And a sentence she once tried to forget: “You cannot keep both.” Moving across decades, secrets, church culture, family wounds, and the fragile line between spiritual destiny and inherited trauma, A Woman, A Mischief is a nonlinear literary mystery about motherhood, sacrifice, survival, and the silent ways people disappear inside the lives they fought to build.
