Blessing and her brother Ezekiel experience a dramatic shift in their lives when their father leaves their family. Their comfortable existence in Lagos, marked by a glamorous mother and a privileged upbringing, is upended. Following their father's departure, their mother loses her job, forcing the family to leave their air-conditioned apartment and move to their grandparents' compound in the Niger Delta.
Adapting to a life of rural poverty presents a profound shock after their previous affluence. Narrated through Blessing's engaging voice, the story explores themes of family survival against challenging circumstances. It is a narrative that balances humor, poignancy, and tragedy, featuring memorable characters.
