There's nothing Nigerian hair salon owner Yejide won't try to have a baby, supernatural rituals included. But she can't get pregnant fast enough to stop her husband from adding a second—hopefully more fertile—wife to their brood in this novel of earthy magic.

— Leigh Haber, Taylor Lannamann and Joelle Milman
