Fiction
SPIRITED AND INTELLIGENT, MORAYO grows up surrounded by
school friends and family in busy, modern-day Ibadan. An
adoring little sister, their traditional parents, and a host
of aunties and cousins make Morayo’s home their own. So
there’s nothing unusual about her charming but troubled
cousin Bros T moving in with the family. At first Morayo and
her sister are delighted, but in her innocence, nothing
prepares Morayo for the shameful secret Bros T forces upon her. Thrust into a web of oppressive silence woven by the adults
around her, Morayo must learn to protect herself and her
sister from a legacy of silence shared by the women in her
family. Only her Aunt Morenike provides Morayo with a safe
home and a sense of female community that sustains her as
she develops into a young woman in bustling, politically
charged, often violent Nigeria.
