What a special day. First, it’s Freedom Day. Second, it’s No One Will Save Us’s book birthday. I can’t believe it’s been a year; it feels like a decade. I’m so appreciative of the recognition and readers’ reactions to this novel. Then this morning, I woke up to this:

Fresh after performing DREAM COUNT by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and NO ONE WILL SAVE US, A’rese Emokpae returns with an amazing performance of BEND, DON’T BREAK. She made me laugh; she made me cry. All that I could hope for. Thank you for giving my words and story life.

No One Will Save Us won gold in the Reader Views Literary Award for Global - Africa fiction and was a finalist for historical fiction. I am humbled and grateful that this story is being recognized, and I hope during this dark time for many that it inspires and provides hope to everyone who reads it.
