Publisher's Synopsis
No More Tomorrows
What happens after the message is sent, the money is transferred, and a man walks away from the life he helped create?
For Mara Eze, it begins with a bank alert and a single line that tears through everything she once believed:
"This is the last sum of money I'm giving you. After all, we had a sincere relationship. Please cherish it. Let bygones be bygones. Take good care of my youngest son. Please don't contact me anymore."
Set against the heartbeat of modern Nigeria, No More Tomorrows is an intimate, lyrical, and powerfully human story of abandonment, resilience, and the quiet strength of women who stay when others leave.
Told across 100 evocative chapters-each like a diary entry, a memory, a breath-this is the journey of a woman learning to rebuild her world not with grand gestures, but with small, brave choices.
Mara is not a victim.
She is a tailor, a mother, a woman with fire in her spirit and softness in her hands. Left to raise her son Kelechi alone after her former partner, Ayo, vanishes to begin a new life, Mara must navigate the silence he leaves behind-the kind that echoes through birthdays, school projects, and empty phone inboxes.
But this is not just Mara's story.
It's also Kelechi's-tender, artistic, growing into himself beneath the shadow of absence. And it's the story of every woman who has ever whispered her vows to the walls, who has danced at weddings alone but joyful, who has raised a child on the edge of heartbreak and still managed to smile.
With poetic prose and piercing emotional realism, No More Tomorrows spans the quiet years: from voicemails never returned to letters buried beneath mango trees, from the sting of social media discoveries to a teenage boy's first love, from name changes in courtrooms to whispered goodbyes at gravesites.
The novel weaves through Mara's past and present, drawing us into the raw intimacy of a life that refuses to be defined by someone else's departure. The story honors the Nigerian spirit through language and rhythm-blending Standard English with the music of Nigerian English and the tenderness of lightly used Pidgin.
It's a book of empty envelopes, unspoken grief, fried plantains, sewing machines, laughter returned, zobo brewed with care, and mothers who become legends in the quiet.
Ultimately, No More Tomorrows is not a story about being left behind.
It's about what happens when you stop waiting to be chosen and choose yourself.
It is for the women who mother alone, who love with open palms, who refuse to let sorrow define their futures. It is for the sons who grow up strong without ever hearing "I'm proud of you" from the men who should have said it. And it is for anyone who has ever stood in the wreckage of a goodbye and decided to keep walking.
Moving, wise, and deeply rooted in truth, No More Tomorrows is a testament to what remains after the breaking:
Love.
Voice.
And the strength to live as if today is enough.
