Patience is a Subtle Thief

18-year-old Patience Adewale enters a life of fraud in Lagos to gather the money she needs to reunite with her estranged mother in America. Set against the backdrop of Nigeria’s historic 1993 election, Patience faces the realities of her most dangerous job as Nigerians endure the strain of instability after years of military dictatorship, the dashed hope for democracy, and bloody protests. (HarperVia/HarperCollins).
