About this Novel

Her moans mingled with the metallic sound as she collided with the dusty road ahead. Stumbling, her eyes shut tight, she found herself meeting the harsh surface of a rock. A sharp twist of her leg echoed, prompting her to embrace her father's name and exclaim "Inallillahi wa inna iallhin raji'oun." Tears streamed down her cheeks as rain poured down, drenching the trees, and she raised her head to the sky, feeling each raindrop on her body. **************** KANO ************** "Doooooom!" he called out, "subhanallahi subhanallahi subhanallahi!
