The story takes the reader on a mesmerizing roller coaster. Fanaye’s strong will and determination throws her into the path of adventure, danger and even romance in this beautiful story of resilience and strength as she defies the harmful cultures of the day. 

She travels on foot to visit her cousins in a nearby village and asks a simple favor from her mother.  From here on, the twists and turns of the story and the ordeals she encounters along the way are revealed as character building. 

Using her fierce independence to defy the odds, Fanaye carves a new path for herself throughout the years of her life, unlike any other woman of her time.

Captivating and inspiring, this is a story that proves anything is possible if you believe in yourself, and stand strong.
