What If You Try Again

What if the thing you're most afraid of… is the very thing that can save you?

Bridget Boye once had a voice that soared. Until failure silenced it. After choking on stage, losing competitions, and failing crucial exams, she begins to question her worth—and even her will to live.

But when her grief-stricken mother reaches out for help, a quiet but powerful journey begins. With support from church, therapy, and a compassionate coach who sees her hidden strength, Bridget slowly rises from the shadows of shame.

In this soul-stirring Nigerian coming-of-age story, What If You Try Again? explores the weight of public failure, the struggle to rebuild after loss, and the quiet power of hope. Told with honesty and grace, this novel speaks to every teenager who has ever felt left behind—and every adult who remembers what it means to try again.
