Udodi’s death was the beginning of the raging storm but at that moment, we thought that the worst had already happened, and that life would treat us with more kindness. When Nani is only seventeen, she loses her beloved sister and father. Misunderstood by the rest of her family, she is beguiled by an itinerant preacher, a handsome self-proclaimed ‘man of God’ who seems to offer all the answers. But instead of building a better future with him, Nani is forced too soon into a challenging womanhood with an oppressive husband. Will she find the courage to take charge of her own life and seek true happiness, and at what cost?

Udodi’s death was the beginning of the raging storm but at that moment, we thought that the worst had already happened, and that life would treat us with more kindness.

Told from multiple perspectives and set between The Past and The Present, Atlanta and Nigeria, this is the story of Nani – a prodigal child who loses her way before she finds her agency.

When Nani’s family is hit by tragedy after tragedy, she feels alone and misunderstood. Then she meets Ephraim, a handsome self-proclaimed ‘man of God’ who seems to offer all the answers.

Will Nani have the courage to take charge of her own life and find true happiness?
