Family and friends celebrate the birth of Chidinma, Ijeoma and Chibundu’s healthy daughter. However, Chibundu refuses to buy a goat to kill for a feast. Adaora notices the tension between husband and wife. While breastfeeding, Ijeoma reflects on her daughter’s name, a variant of Chibundu’s name that means “God is good” (264).
Chibundu’s mother and Ijeoma’s mother stay with them to help with the baby for a couple months. Adaora helps with breastfeeding and the pain that this causes in Ijeoma’s body.
