Olawu by P. J. Leigh

Olawu is the eldest daughter of her village’s sole physician, and she’s eager to follow in her father’s footsteps. But the rules of her village stand in her way, and a tragedy spurred by the conflict between two warring tribes leaves her family destitute. Olawu seeks help from Dikembe, the son of the tribal warlord who has taken over her village. She hopes he will repay her father’s past kindness and shield her family. But hope is a fragile thing, and time is running out.
