Numina - A luminous tale of genius and love, where autism becomes a new language of wonder, and a Nigerian mother and her son rewrite what the world believes is possible.
Nine-year-old Taye Adebanjo is unlike any child the world has seen. Autistic, brilliant, and silent to most, he dreams in mathematics, speaks in sequences, and draws breathtaking portraits of nature using only numbers. His rare gift becomes a lifeline - not just for him, but for people across the globe - when he and his mother, Oluwatoyin, a Nigerian immigrant and actuary in Phoenix, create Budgetmatics, a revolutionary mathematical tool that predicts markets, rainfall, and economic shifts.
From Wall Street's high-stakes boardrooms to Kenyan farmlands, from legal battles to clandestine meetings with dissident economists, Numina follows a journey of genius under fire. As governments, corporations, and predators close in, Taye's world becomes a symphony of numbers - one that can either heal or harm, depending on who holds the pen.
Written by Paul Arthur Osaroejii, Nigerian American novelist and Ph.D. candidate in Health Services, Numina is more than a novel. It's a literary, emotionally charged exploration of autism, single motherhood, African identity, and the power of intellect to rewrite the rules.
Perfect for readers of literary fiction, African literature, and inspiring autism stories, Numina combines poetic language with gripping suspense, inviting comparisons to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, A Man Called Ove, and The Imitation Game.
If you're looking for a novel that moves your heart, sharpens your mind, and leaves you forever changed, Numina belongs on your shelf.
