"They say a mother is a mini-god. In my house, she’s the devil in an Ankara wrapper." Abike lives her life like a "dapped chick"—walking on eggshells, avoiding the heavy hands and sharper tongue of the woman she calls "Mama." In their quiet Nigerian home, respect isn't earned; it’s beaten into the skin. But when a midnight phone call reveals a chilling secret, the world Abike thought she knew shatters. The woman who broke her body isn't her blood—she’s a jailer with a vendetta. Now, Abike must play a dangerous game of survival. If she isn't a daughter then who is she? A victim? Or a weapon waiting to be triggered? In a house built on lies, the truth doesn't just set you free... it starts a war.

Capturing the light of the moon on the darkest parts of the human heart— I write stories people usually whisper about, stories people are scared to say out loud....... I'm not here to traumatize you but here to share real life dramas and maybe tips on how not to fall a victim of certain circumstances. I'm bleeding inks into a book so I don't bleed for real cause I believe in jagged and raw truth. Come for the drama, stay for the cold reality or perhaps we may travail through fairytales.
