Grace – Chika Unigwe

Twenty-six years after giving up her firstborn, Grace has built a life around a secret that refuses to stay buried.

Now a wife, mother of twin daughters and the owner of a successful medical clinic, Grace seems to have found her footing. But on Baby’s birthday, the absence of the child she gave away is as powerful as ever.

Grace was just fifteen when her parents pressured her to give up her baby. She severed ties with them, unable to forgive their decision. When her estranged mother unexpectedly returns, the carefully protected boundaries of Grace’s new life begin to crumble.

From Chika Unigwe, winner of the Nigeria Prize for Literature, comes a story of motherhood, family estrangement and the struggle to define a life on your own terms. Perfect for readers who love emotionally layered family stories, long-held secrets and women fighting for the people they love.
