An intimate portrayal of the voices of three generations of women seen through the portrait of family life. *** OYINKANSOLA (THE DAUGHTER): “The question ‘who am I?’ Kept haunting me. What was my purpose in life? What was I doing there? In that town, in that room? Was this what freedom meant? Freedom from what? Does freedom mean this purposelessness? ... Does freedom mean this frightening feeling of unconnectedness?” *** IBIDUN (THE MOTHER): “You may wonder if my mother meant to dispense with me. What she desired might sound harmless to the foolhardy. She wanted me to be like her! In this, her seemingly harmless desire lay my eternal damnation.” *** ESTHER FOLASADE ADUKE (THE GRANDMOTHER): Is for Ibidun that I work. Is for her that I struggle because I want my own daughter to learn from my life. The life of a woman is hard and I want that as am working hard and as have suffer in this my life let her own life be better pass my own.”
