To the naked eyes, Emma, a recent high school graduate, is beyond beautiful and smart, which is a combination that would give any girl an immeasurable sense of self-confidence. But as it turns out, the eyes are yet to discover and understand the real Emma. Adam, her saving angel who is wise beyond his years, wholeheartedly accepts the real Emma and teaches her to do the same. Façade is the first novel of writer Emem E. Uko, who brilliantly concocts a novel that takes the reader to a plot-twisting journey of fun, love, heartbreak, and acceptance.
