In Red Mud Dorcas Akobundu

Amidst her anxiety for the future, Uju runs on the fuel of the present. Her streaks of academic heights come crashing down when she doesn't clear Physics in her WAEC, pulling her out of her inbuilt security. She goes to Enugu with her family on the guise of a short visit to her Uncle and his family, but she's left there to spend time before her NECO results are released. She has only one option: to pass it or stay and find a remedy because missing a year is not an option. There, she meets Azubuike, a local boy with his head far into the future, who makes her want to stay. Will her anxiety for the future affect her wholly or will she take steps towards opening her mind?
