內容簡介 *BLACK LAWRENCE PRESS IMMIGRANT WRITING SERIES FINALIST * READER VIEWS (5-STAR REVIEW) * READERS' FAVORITE (5-STAR REVIEW) A woman's evocative chronicle of modern womanhood, navigating love, family, and the radical desire to remain child-free in a patriarchal world. Karen has spent years building an independent life in the city, far from her fractured family, leaving no room for love-until she receives news of her mother's sudden death. The devastating news unravels her carefully curated life as Karen grapples with painful memories and the sister she left behind a decade ago. As grief, memories, and long-buried resentment reemerge, Karen's troubles have only begun: she's pregnant, her secret affair with a younger colleague is exposed, and Omo is gravely ill. In the face of cultural expectations surrounding love, duty, and motherhood, Karen finds solace in The Women's Group-a circle of fierce, resilient women who challenge her to confront the truth: forgiveness isn't always mutual, and love can take unexpected forms. Set against the vibrant landscapes of contemporary Lagos City and Eastern Nigeria, Your Tomorrow Was Today is a poignant journey of feminist reckoning, exploring autonomy, identity, and the choices that shape us.
