Daughters Who Walk This Path depicts the dramatic coming of age of Morayo, a spirited and intelligent girl growing up in 1980s Ibadan who is thrust into a web of oppressive silence woven by the adults around her. It's a legacy of silence many women in Morayo's family share. Only Aunty Morenike-once protected by her own mother-provides Morayo with a safe home, and a sense of female community which sustains Morayo as she grows into a young woman in bustling, politically charged, often violent Nigeria.

      Don’t you women say that what a man can do, a woman can do better?”
      I rolled my eyes. “Kachi Nwosu, you really need to move along with the times. That was back in the 1970s. This is 2002. The proper saying is, What a man can do, why should a woman bother?”

        promise that for you, there will be fewer secrets. I promise to talk about whatever causes you pain. To talk about shame. I promise to listen even when I do not understand. I promise because you are worth it.”

          “You know how you cry when cutting onions?”
          I nodded. “Yes.”
          “It’s because the vapours from the onions make you cry, even though you’re not sad. Those feelings in your body were just like that: mere physical reactions. It does not mean that you wanted him to do what he did.”
