Beyond The Trial by Chigozie Anuli Mbadugha

Beyond the Trial is an award-winning collection of three novellas - Shadows From the Past, Erased Reproach, and Rude Awakening. The novellas celebrate the resilience and grit of their female protagonists - Ada, Funke, and Nkechi as they surmount challenges and forge new territories. Their trials (domestic violence, teenage pregnancy, and early widowhood) are, sadly, familiar to many, their response to them is a call to fortitude and strength of character to face life's punches because they will come. They always do.
