Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has always been an amazing storyteller, but this time, it’s her own life writing a powerful testimony. While being interviewed at her home for The Guardian, the journalist noticed something unexpected—twin boys.
Though she hadn’t publicly announced their birth, it was clear that Adichie had been quietly embracing this beautiful new chapter of motherhood. And at 47, it’s a powerful reminder that God’s timing is never late.
For many women waiting on the Lord for the blessing of children, Adichie’s story is one of hope and resilience. Sometimes, the journey looks different from what we imagined, and the waiting can feel long, but delay is not denial. God is still in the business of doing the impossible; her story is a testament to that.
Beyond this new chapter of her personal life, Adichie is also stepping back into the literary world with her upcoming novel, Dream Count. After a 10-year hiatus from fiction, she’s returning with a deeply moving story about four women navigating love, longing, and identity across Nigeria and the U.S. The book dives into themes of immigration, marriage, and women’s pressures, making it another thought-provoking addition to her body of work.
Chimamanda’s journey as a mother and a writer reminds us that there is no “perfect” timeline for life’s biggest blessings. Whether you’re waiting on motherhood, a breakthrough, or a dream long buried, take heart: when the time is right, it will happen.
Chimamanda Adichie’s latest chapter is proof that God writes the best stories.
