At the Crossroads: Salima the Student — When Dignity Becomes Victory

Salima Mofwano, the first girl from her village to enter university, dreams of transforming her family's destiny. But campus life presents her with cruel choices: the temptation of easy money, the pressure of belonging to a world that is not her own, and the silence of poverty. When temptation knocks at her door, Salima must choose between preserving her dignity or giving in to despair. Between sacrifice and resistance, two paths are open to her: one leads to loss, the other to light. Set in a vibrant and realistic contemporary Africa, this coming-of-age novel explores faith, friendship, and the price of integrity. Salima's courage reminds every reader that at a crossroads, choosing the hardest path is often the right one—the one that leads to true victory.
