Reader review of Ada (The First Daughter)
As a first daughter, reading this book felt like looking into a mirror. Every page of Temilade Alokan’s ADA (The First Daughter) carried pieces of my own journey silent sacrifices, unspoken tears, unacknowledged responsibilities, and yet, the undying hope that somehow, God will make a way.
One chapter that struck me the most was Episode 3, Midnight Tears. Ada’s quiet prayer in the dark, muffling her sobs so no one would hear, pierced my heart. I saw myself in those words, how often first daughters pour out strength in the daytime but wrestle with heavy burdens at night. Temilade captured that reality with such honesty that I couldn’t hold back my tears.
This book is not just fiction, it is every first daughter’s hidden story. It validates our struggles while reminding us that we are not forgotten, that God still sees, still remembers, and still answers.
To every first daughter, this is a healing balm. To every parent, it is an awakening. To me, it was a reminder that my sacrifices are not in vain.
I wholeheartedly recommend ADA (The First Daughter). It is real, raw, and deeply spiritual. A book that does not just tell a story, but ministers to the soul.
Thank you my very incredible Temilade Alokan, you didn't just write, you ministered to me in writing.
Thank you to this incredible reader for sharing such a moving reflection.
