Product details
How much can one woman endure before she decides to take back her life?
In Adanna, Adesuwa O’man Nwokedi delivers a riveting and emotional story of a life interrupted. Adanna is a young woman with her eyes set on the stars, literally. Her ambition to reach NASA is fueled by intellect and hope, but that hope is extinguished when her father’s passing leaves her vulnerable.
Forced into a marriage with Chief Arinze Nsofor, Adanna enters a domestic world that is less a home and more a prison. Over twenty years, she is stripped of her identity, her voice, and her dreams, forced into a brutal cycle of survival within walls that hide horrific secrets.
The narrative shifts gears when Chief Nsofor is found dead. As the community reels and the police search for a killer, the spotlight falls on those closest to him: his neglected children, his many enemies, and Adanna herself.
