Whispers

Some stories are told out loud. Others are only whispered.

Whispers is a deeply moving collection of fictional stories that unravel the taboos often hidden behind closed doors in African homes. Through powerful, emotionally raw narratives, this book explores what happens when family secrets are protected more fiercely than the people they harm.

Each chapter delves into the quiet struggles many faces but are rarely allowed to voice—rape and abuse covered in silence, misunderstood mental health, neurodivergence dismissed as rebellion, domestic violence ignored for the sake of family image, and dreams buried beneath cultural expectations.

Written in a poetic, soul-stirring style, Whispers shines a light on shame, survival, and the power of speaking truths once forced into hiding. These stories don’t just confront pain—they gently open the door to healing, understanding, and empathy.

The book is divided in three sections, Part 1 – The narratives, Part 2 – Discussion Points for Groups, Part 3 – A guided journal.

Perfect for readers who appreciate literary fiction, social realism, and emotional storytelling with a purpose.
