"In the heart of Abeokuta, under the watchful shadow of Olumo Rock, Oluwafunmilayo and Babatunde began their journey with a wedding that promised a lifetime of joy. But as the years bled into seven, the celebratory drums fell silent. Five miscarriages and the biting whispers of family elders turned their home into a place of quiet grief.
Then came Iremide, the miracle child. Her arrival was a 'sweetness added to wealth,' a naming ceremony that healed seven years of scars. For two years, the house was full of laughter, and Babatunde finally saw his 'joy doubled' in his daughter's eyes.
But in a single, shattering moment, the light of their home is extinguished.
Left with nothing but a toddler's fading memories and a widow's heavy mantle, Funmilayo must navigate the treacherous waters of grief and survival in Ogun State. This is a story of a daughter who lost her father before she could truly know his face, a mother who fought the world to keep a miracle alive, and a legacy that refuses to be buried in the red earth of Yorubaland."
