Young author Chukwuebuka Ibeh’s debut novel “Blessings”

Chukwuebuka Ibeh completed his first novel “Blessings” at the age of 22, and to critical acclaim. The young author was 14-years-old when the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Act of 2014 became law in his home country, Nigeria. Ibeh’s poignant debut is about self, family, and a community where being gay is not only a sin but against the law. Obiefuna is his mother’s miracle child, but an intimate moment with his father’s apprentice lands him in a Christian boarding school where his father believes his son will adapt and conform. Despite his best efforts, Obiefuna cannot change who he is, not for his father, his classmates, not even for the laws of his country.
