Zola Okoye is ready for her future-nursing school, independence, and a life carved from the legacy of ancestors who fought for freedom. But when a tender connection with classmate Kofi turns into a terrifying accident, Zola finds herself caught between generations of expectation and her own rising panic. As the pressure mounts-from family, community, and the quiet voice inside her-Zola must choose whose future she is fighting for...and what steps she will take toward tomorrow.

Paul Smith is a Canadian author, advocate, and storyteller whose writing explores resilience, connection, and the quiet magic of unexpected perspectives. A former registered nurse who worked in high-stakes ICU environments, Paul acquired PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) - an experience that reshaped his life and ultimately led to an early retirement. Writing became his sanctuary, a way to process trauma and rediscover hope. When he isn't crafting tales of talking critters, Paul lives in Canada with his Yorkshire Terrier, Lily, who (unlike his fictional characters) stubbornly refuses to engage in philosophical debates-though she excels at demanding treats. A proud left-hander, he believes storytelling is both an act of healing and an invitation to see the world anew.
