description: Spirited and intelligent Morayo grows up surrounded by school friends and family in busy modern-day Ibadan Nigeria. An adoring little sister their traditional parents and a host of aunties and cousins make Morayo's home their own. So there's nothing unusual about her charming but troubled cousin Bros T moving in with the family. At first Morayo and her sister are delighted but in her innocence nothing prepares Morayo for the shameful secret Bros T forces upon her. Thrust into a web of oppressive silence woven by the adults around her Morayo must learn to fiercely protect herself and her sister from a legacy of silence many women in Morayo's family share. Only Aunty Morenikeonce shielded by her own motherprovides Morayo with a safe home and a sense of female community that sustains her as she grows into a young woman in bustling politically charged often violent Nigeria.
