When Nwakaego leaves her village for Lagos with her little son, James, all she wants is to find the husband who vanished from their lives and force him to remember the family he left behind.
But Lagos is not waiting gently.
Phillip is no longer the man she knew. Around him are new friends, new secrets, a mysterious boss named Rita, and a life Nwakaego does not fully understand. Then one night of rain and fear sets off a chain of events that pulls Nwakaego, Phillip, Rita, Sammy, James, and those around them into a web of love, poverty, betrayal, motherhood, marriage, shame, survival, and the small, stubborn hope that keeps people moving when life gives them very little to hold.
Tender, funny, painful, and deeply Nigerian, Just a Small Slice of Hope, or Something Like That is a moving novel about imperfect people trying to survive their own choices, forgive what they can, and find light in places where darkness has settled for too long.
