- Full Length
Brilliant and fiercely independent scholar, Toyoima Ufot – middle child to Abasiama and Disciple Ufot -- has forged her own lonely path. She has isolated herself in the hallowed halls of academia, in a state as far away from her hometown of Worcester, Massachusetts, as she can get.
But she cannot outrun her past forever ---
Especially not when the entirety of her career was built on the unpublished academic work of her father, Disciple Ufot.
When the institution discovers the plagiarism and puts her on leave, Toyoima makes a voyage to her fatherland -- Akwa Ibom, Nigeria – to contend with her history and her choices.
Immediately Toyoima steps foot onto Disciple's compound, she finds madness... yes. ...But also love and understanding. Before long, Toyoima finds herself on a healing journey, where she is ultimately exonerated --- because you can’t steal from yourself.
