She Who Loved A Lie

  • An Ijaw Folktale About Love, Loss and Return. She Who Loved a Lie: An Ijaw folktale of love, loss, and return
  • Tari-Ere was a proud virgin-beautiful, bold, and unimpressed by the many suitors who sought her hand. But when a mysterious stranger arrived, speaking sweet words and cloaked in charm, her guarded heart gave way.
  • She had no idea she was marrying a water god in disguise.
  • Swept into the oceanic realm, Tari-Ere wept as she discovered the truth. Trapped between worlds, stripped of all she knew, she found the strength to endure and by a twist of fate, was returned to her people.
  • Now wiser and humbled, Tari-Ere listens to the wisdom of her parents and opens her heart anew. This time, she chooses with clarity.
  • She Who Loved a Lie is a timeless tale from the Niger Delta reminding young hearts that not all that glitters is true love, and that sometimes the path to joy begins with a painful awakening.

Praise for Tari-Ere: The Picky Virgin

She who loved a lie is a stunning blend of folklore and life lessons. It’s beautifully written, rich in culture, and full of heart. I laughed, I held my breath, and I learned.
Koko Briggs
An enchanting story that reminds us how powerful the wisdom of our ancestors can be. I loved how Linda wove magic, tradition, and emotion into every chapter.
