Unoma Nwankwor has written a fantastic story of love and betrayal, anchored by forgiveness. For, don't we struggle the most to forgive those nearest and dearest to us?Amara and Ejike are the perfect couple: amazing chemistry, very good-looking, both successful in their chosen careers. There's only one blip on the horizon: they are childless. Still, that isn't a deal breaker for Ejike. Unlike most Nigerian men of his ilk, he shields his wife from family pressure and loves her wholly and completely.A joyous surprise is in the works when a blast from the past threatens to destroy everything Amara and Ejike have built. Will they ever find a way to be happy again?It is rare for me to empathize with the 'villain', but I did in this story, mostly due to Unoma's skill. She created characters who are three-dimensional - none perfect among them...all human...all real.When You Let Go is a wonderful book, and I recommend it with no reservations whatsoever. Read this book! You'll thank me later.
