When Tia accidentally overhears a whispered conversation between her mother - terminally ill
and lying in a hospital bed in Port Harcourt Nigeria - and her aunt the repercussions will
send her on a desperate quest to uncover a secret her mother has been hiding for nearly two
decades. Back home in Lagos a few days later Adunni a plucky fourteen-year-old runaway is
lying awake in Tia's guest room. Having escaped from her rural village in a desperate bid to
seek a better future she's finally found refuge with Tia who has helped her enroll in school.
It's always been Adunni's dream to get an education and she's bursting with excitement.
Suddenly there's a horrible knocking at the front gate. . . . It's only the beginning of a
harrowing ordeal that will see Tia forced to make a terrible choice between protecting Adunni
or finally learning the truth. And Adunni will learn that her 'louding voice' is more important
than ever as she must advocate to save not only herself but all the young women of her home
village Ikati. If she succeeds she may transform Ikati into a place where girls are
allowed to claim the bright futures they deserve - and shout their stories to the world.
