“Raw and honest.” – Booklist Online

“Dares to ask difficult questions about memory, motherhood, and what it means to survive yourself.” – San Francisco Book Review

A powerful, emotionally resonant novel set between Lagos and Eastern Nigeria, exploring love, family, and the radical desire to remain child-free in a patriarchal world – Perfect for readers of Tayari Jones, Brit Bennett, and Ayọ̀báyí Adébáyọ̀.

When Karen’s mother dies suddenly, the independent life she has built in Lagos begins to unravel. Returning home forces her to confront the family she fled-and the secrets she has kept even from herself.

Written in haunting, lyrical prose, Your Tomorrow Was Today follows Karen as she navigates grief, autonomy, and the cultural expectations that threaten to swallow her whole.

As old resentments resurface, Karen faces a crisis she can no longer outrun: she is pregnant, carrying a life she never imagined, entangled in an affair with a younger colleague, and her estranged sister Omo is gravely ill. Every choice she makes pulls her between duty and the fierce longing to define her own life.

In the midst of this turmoil, Karen finds unexpected refuge in The Women’s Group-a circle of bold, unflinching women who challenge her to reconsider what love, forgiveness, and freedom truly demand.

Your Tomorrow Was Today is a poignant feminist reckoning that unfolds through identity, memory, and the choices that shape us.
