I'm pleased to be hosting the third day of Joy Nwosu Lo-Bamijoko's  4Wills Publishing blog tour.

I was excited, at the beginning, that I will be alone in Rome, without parental supervision or support, without someone telling me what to do, or me looking over my shoulder all the time to see who was judging me. But my presence in Rome changed all that. I wanted all those things I was excited about losing. I missed home. I missed the connection with people like me. I latched myself onto the first group that accepted me, and no matter how I later tried to detach myself from them, I found myself always going back to them. They were my anchor, so to say. Alfi in the story was my nemesis in Rome. Even though I knew she was not good for me, I couldn’t shake her off me.
 
Alfi did everything in her power to destroy me. I knew that, and perhaps it was that knowledge, and the grace of God that kept my head above water.
 
Fast forward to Nigeria. When most of us finally returned to Nigeria-- the good and the bad, the high and the low, the snubs and the snubbed-- the ground levelled out. The fact that we were all abroad and studied abroad put all of us on the same level.
 
Those princes who snubbed me in Rome did not like it. They still wanted to maintain that divide. Now I was a professor at the university, and they rumored that I was not qualified to be a professor. They wanted everyone to look at the fact-- they were the favored ones, I was not. They got the big scholarship, I did not. They schooled at the University of Rome, I did not-- I schooled at the Conservatoy of music, and to them that was not anything equivalent to a university, therefore, inferior. They hounded me! I had to go back to school to prove them wrong. This book: Joy Nwosu Lo-Bamijoko The Saga of a Nigerian Female Ethnomusicologist, written by one who witnessed my struggles at the time, detailed everything.

    Author

    Michelle Abbott lives in the UK and hates describing herself in 3rd person.

    She writes new adult romance about heroes who fight against the odds and are protective of their girl.

    She's an avid reader of romance, is addicted to coffee and loves wine and chocolate, so yeah, not the most healthy eating and drinking habits :-) She spends way too much time online when she should be writing. She collects teddy bears and occasionally knits a couple of rows on a sweater she started years ago, which she may eventually finish in time to wear for her funeral :-)
