This is the true story of a young girl named Nneka who attended the prestigious Federal University of Technology, Owerri. She was deeply in love with her boyfriend, Gerald, who was also a student at the same campus.
However, one day, Gerald abruptly ended their relationship, leaving Nneka heartbroken and devastated. The young ambitious Gerald had amassed some sudden wealth through certain internet schemes, and so he found Nneka unbefitting for his new status. Meanwhile, they had bonded as one in the preceding years. They had gone about almost all school activities together. It was a loss too great for Nneka to bear. And she was also an orphan.
Unable to handle the recurring trauma of seeing Gerald every day on campus frolicking around girls of different sizes and colours, the poor girl decided to escape.
She packed her little earthly belongings in the middle of the night, leaving behind only a note for her roommate explaining her sudden departure. With tears in her eyes, she boarded a bus to Onitsha, and from there to a place in Agbor, Delta State. Looking at one thing, yet thinking about another, Nneka was in a hurry to flee, to leave behind her pains. And where she ran to was unknown to her.
As she wandered the unfamiliar streets of Agbor, Nneka stumbled upon a bookshop owned by an elderly woman named Mrs. Iyaye. Sensing Nneka's distress, Mrs. Iyaye offered her a job at the bookshop and a place to stay within the compound, just behind the shop.
In the weeks that followed, Nneka found solace in the quiet charm of the shop and the wisdom of Mrs. Iyaye. She immersed herself in the world of literature, finding comfort in the stories of love, life, loss, and resilience.
Some months later at the university, Gerald started regretting his decision to break up with Nneka. He had gone totally broke, even got arrested by the police, and all he had amassed confiscated. He searched high and low for Nneka, realizing the depth of his love only after she was gone and his pockets empty, too...
