About this audiobook
When the river in a quiet Nigerian village suddenly stops flowing, seventeen-year-old Adaeze becomes the only one who feels its silence as more than a mystery. To her, it is a calling. The stillness awakens memories of her father, who vanished years ago and left behind only half of a carved pendant—and a promise she never understood.
As Adaeze searches for answers, she uncovers the truth hidden beneath the surface: her father’s connection to the river, and the message he left waiting for her in its depths. With each revelation, she learns that the river is not only water, but memory—holding what time and grief cannot erase.
Told with quiet power and lyrical grace, When the River Paused is a moving story about loss, remembrance, and the gentle ways love finds its way back.
