Description

Osu: A Coming of Age Novel is an inspiring and emotionally rich journey of self-discovery, set against the backdrop of cultural tradition and quiet rebellion.
Born into a label he never chose, young Kelechi grows up in a world that treats him as less—marked by the ancient stigma of being Osu, an outcast in his own land. But Kelechi is not content to live in the shadows. As he navigates school, friendship, love, and a system steeped in prejudice, he begins to ask the questions others are too afraid to face.
What does it mean to belong? To be seen? To break generational cycles without breaking yourself?
With lyrical prose and deep emotional insight, Osu explores themes of identity, self-acceptance, and resilience. It’s a story of rising up—not just against society, but against the inner voices that say you’re not enough.
Perfect for readers who love introspective coming-of-age tales like The Kite Runner or The Hate U Give, this novel is a testament to the quiet power of choosing your own worth.
