Inhaltsangabe

Toyin Taiwo's Dear Diary collection of contemporary stories follows the lives of three millennial Nigerian women as they navigate life, pushing back against societal expectations. A British Nigerian glamour model under public scrutiny... A perfectionist housewife who longs for a family... An American Nigerian woman redefining her life. They are cultural 'underdogs', and pioneers of modern womanhood. Bold and profound, these stories reveal the rich inner world of women redefining their faith, identity, and self-worth.
