A GLANCE AT HAPPINESS (Paperback)

Set in the backdrop of a high school power tussle, Kasarachi, an endearing school teacher, only dreams of a life filled with happiness. She pours her heart into her students, finds joy in the little things, and yearns for the kind of love that feels steady and true. But the world around her refuses to remain simple. Every choice she makes, every silence she keeps, pulls her deeper into a web of emotions and conflicts that stretch far beyond the classroom walls.

Through her, the lives of those closest to her become inseparably tangled. Vivian, sharp-eyed, competitive and restless, adores her father yet cannot ignore the unease growing in her heart. Mabel, the picture of fragile resilience, struggles to hold her family together while Onwuka, powerful and commanding, stands as both protector and a lover. And Onyema who’s torn between desire and the struggle to remain upright while making difficult choices.

Kasarachi becomes the thread that binds them all. Around her swirl loyalty and betrayal, passion and silence, resilience and ruin. Love takes on many faces: tender, fragile, intoxicating, and devastating.

Suspenseful, deeply emotional, and richly human, A GLANCE AT HAPPINESS is a haunting portrait of the ties that bind us and the hope for affection that keeps us going. It asks the timeless question: how well do we yearn for happiness? And how much of ourselves do we sacrifice in the journey to find love and fulfillment?
