Everyone in the Osayande family worries about Isoken. She's beautiful, successful, and surrounded by great family and friends, but she's still single at 34--a serious cause for concern in a culture obsessed with marriage. At her youngest sister's wedding, their overbearing mother thrusts her into an orchestrated matchmaking with the ultimate Edo man: Osaze. He's handsome, successful, and from a good family, which makes him perfect Nigerian-husband material. But in an unexpected turn of events, Isoken meets Kevin and falls in love with him, and he just might be what she truly wants in a partner. The only problem: not only is he not an Edo man--he is Oyinbo (Caucasian). Isoken is a romantic dramedy that explores cultural expectation, racial stereotypes, and the bonds that unite families in touching, dramatic, and comedic ways.
