by Goroma Umar

$3.0 PG

Synopsis

Pharima dreams of university, but her widowed mother’s struggles threaten her future. When help arrives from an unexpected relative, their lives intertwine with Nasir, a gentleman who falls for Pharima’s intellect. Amid student riots and a mysterious snakebite, love and cultural ties collide. Will family honor light their way in a world of ashes? This story unfolds in Northern Nigeria, where tradition and ambition collide—a tension familiar to many young women like Pharima, whose dreams defy the weight of family and identity. Agripping tale of love, sacrifice, and identity. Rediscover this hidden gem from the OkadaBooks/GT Bank competition—now back in print! This revised edition includes minor editorial refinements to the original 2020 OkadaBooks publication, which was selected for development after the Dusty Manuscript competition ((OkadaBooks/GTBank 2018)" The Indoor Girl owes its life to two acts of faith: first, the Dusty Manuscript judges who flagged its potential beyond the finals; second, OkadaBooks’ editors who brought it to readers in 2020. Though the platform is now silent, this story remains.
