Lara’s Burden

Lara had mapped out her life earlier than most girls would. Her formula was simple. Be the best at everything including a timely marriage into a ‘good’ family. That was before she ‘travelled’, then met Dele. Come walk the streets of Nigeria, from Lagos to Kaduna and various cities in between. See the places you have heard so much about and see through the eyes of those who tread its dust. Reading this book feels like going on a great holiday without ever getting on an aeroplane. Lara, Lola, Tumi and their friends must navigate the life that culture and tradition dictate. The pressure is real for these ladies who, at the precipice of transition into adulthood, must balance their fierce desire for independence and self actualization with societal demands within a fast-paced competitive environment charged with economic and political storms. —- ISBN: 9798990726819
