The Moment Everything Changed: Nairobi Dreams

By Mel C. Steel

"In my tribe, becoming a doctor is the highest honor. In my tribe, pregnancy before marriage is the deepest shame. I cannot be both."
Twenty-year-old Amara Muthoni has defied expectations by securing a coveted medical school scholarship in Nairobi. As the first in her family to attend university, she carries the dreams of her Kikuyu community on her shoulders.
Then a missed period brings her carefully constructed future crashing down.
The father of her child belongs to the rival Luo tribe, adding impossible complexity to an already devastating situation. As tribal tensions threaten to separate them, Amara must navigate between modern medicine and traditional wisdom, between her professional ambitions and family expectations.
In a society where tribal identity shapes everything from politics to personal relationships, Amara must find the courage to create a future that honors all parts of her identity-doctor, mother, Kikuyu woman, and bridge between worlds.
NAIROBI DREAMS is the second book in "The Moment Everything Changed" series, exploring young women's experiences with unplanned pregnancy across diverse cultural contexts. Each novel stands alone while contributing to a global conversation about family, choice, and resilience.
