Inspired by the pre-colonial cultures of East Africa, Olawu is historical fiction about a girl who wants to be a physician.

Olawu’s dream is to become a physician like her father. Though learning is forbidden in her patriarchal village, the rules are no match for Olawu’s strong will and her father’s secret teaching. When tragedy leaves her family destitute and vulnerable, Olawu must forgo her dream to save them. Falling in love, and getting caught in the middle of a war, were not part of her plan.

But hope is a fragile thing, and time is running out.
