One Boy! is an emotionally charged—and at times even humorous—coming-of-age story. In his debut work of creative non-fiction, Benjamin Maiangwa draws readers into the world of a boy navigating the space between youthful innocence and the harsh realities of a Catholic boarding school in Nigeria.
Maiangwa's journey unfolds across a landscape shaped by the fragility of friendship, loss, and the urgent search for self. As he matures within the strict confines of the boarding school and the religious hostilities of the outside world, he arrives at a moral crossroads: should he uphold the Christian virtue of forgiveness or yield to the seductive pull of revenge?
One Boy! is both a story of survival and a meditation on what it means to remain whole in a world that so often seems designed to break us.
