Goodreads asked Emem Uko:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Emem Uko Well, it is a mystery to me how I endured and survived a near-fatal injury as a baby of only eight days old. That concurrence has proven to me the strength and will to live that babies possess. Based on that experience and all the unfortunate things happening in the world right now, I could plot a book about a baby trapped underneath a rubble after an explosion and the persistence of the people trying to find and dig out the baby in the midst of danger and commotion. Mind you, they'll have no clue if the baby is alive.
