When Zikora, a DC lawyer from Nigeria, tells her equally high-powered lover that she’s pregnant, he abandons her. But it’s Zikora’s demanding, self-possessed mother, in town for the birth, who makes Zikora feel like a lonely little girl all over again. Stunned by the speed with which her ideal life fell apart, she turns to reflecting on her mother’s painful past and struggle for dignity. Preparing for motherhood, Zikora begins to see more clearly what her own mother wants for her, for her new baby, and for herself.

Well done, but abrupt ending
Reviewed: 03-19-21
I found the story told in an engaging way. It was a glimpse into a different perspective for me, which I enjoyed. The ending though was abrupt. It felt like all of a sudden it was cut, ending in mid sentence.
