A Nigerian woman’s evocative chronicle of modern womanhood, navigating love, family, and the radical desire to remain child-free in a patriarchal world. 

Your Tomorrow Was Today (ISBN:979-8-9991626-1-8; January 15, 2026, $17.00, Original Trade Paperback) by Oyindamola Dosunmu is a character-driven adult literary fiction, also accessible to fans of upmarket women’s fiction, that explores some of the most pressing sociopolitical issues in today’s world—autonomy, womanhood, and culture.

Karen has spent years building an independent life in the city, far from her fractured family, leaving no room for love—until she receives news of her mother’s sudden death. The devastating news unravels her carefully curated life as Karen grapples with painful memories and the sister she left behind a decade ago.

As grief, memory, and long-buried resentment reemerge, Karen’s troubles have only begun: she’s pregnant, her secret affair with a younger colleague is exposed, and Omo is gravely ill. 

In the face of cultural expectations surrounding love, duty, and motherhood, Karen finds solace in The Women’s Group—a circle of fierce, resilient women who challenge her to confront the truth: forgiveness isn’t always mutual, and love can take unexpected forms. 

Set against the vibrant landscapes of contemporary Lagos City and Eastern Nigeria, Your Tomorrow Was Today is a poignant journey of feminist reckoning, identity, and the choices that shape us.

“Oyindamola Dosunmu has crafted a novel that challenges conventional form and dares to ask difficult questions about memory, motherhood, and what it means to survive yourself.”—San Francisco Book Review

“A beautifully crafted novel about healing, choice, and the strength it takes to write your own future, and it’s a must-read for lovers of literary fiction with heart and cultural depth.” 

—Readers’ Favorite (5-star review)
