About this audiobook
When Nene loses her newborn twins to the cruel demands of an ancient tradition, her world shatters. In her small village in the misty grassfields of pre-colonial Cameroon, twins are seen as an abomination—and the laws of the ancestors are absolute. But when silence is demanded of her, and the council of elders denies her a voice, Nene makes a quiet vow: to fight back in a way no woman ever has.
Haunted by grief, driven by love, and armed only with her wit and her will, Nene risks everything—her marriage, her name, her life—to expose the darkness hidden in custom and reclaim a future for the voiceless.
Set against a richly imagined backdrop of ancestral lore and mountain rituals, this powerful debut explores the tension between tradition and truth, community and conscience, fate and freedom. The Forbidden Cry is a gripping tale of betrayal, resilience, and the unstoppable force of a mother’s love.
