Synopsis
THE STORY: Sojourners is Part One of the Ufot Cycle, Udofia’s sweeping, nine-part saga which chronicles the triumphs and losses of Abasiama Ufot, a Nigerian immigrant, and her family.
Abasiama came to America with high hopes for her arranged marriage and her future, intent on earning a degree and returning to Nigeria.
But when her husband is seduced by America, she must choose between the Nigerian or American Dream.
Press Reviews
"[SOJOURNERS] offer[s] a moving and powerful corrective to the notion that what immigrants leave behind is always awful, and that what they find is always worth the trip…[Udofia] makes the eventful plot run with marvelous ease; Abasiama’s troubles weave through each other at right angles so that they mimic the complexity and difficulty of real life."
— The New York Times
