In the small Nigerian town of Ilutitun, eleven-year-old David Edward dares to dream big, despite the crushing weight of poverty, grief, and silence that has befallen his family. After the loss of his beloved father, David's mother holds the family together with unwavering determination and strength. But for David, the only way to escape the hardships of his reality is to pursue his dream of attending St. Peter's Seminary. This poignant coming-of-age story follows David's journey as he navigates the challenges of seminary life, from menial tasks like scrubbing toilets to facing betrayal, loss, and spiritual doubt.
