Ama Dlamini has spent her life carrying everyone else.
As the responsible one, she pays bills, fixes crises, and absorbs expectations tied to Black Tax-the unspoken rule that her success belongs to the family. When Ama finally sets boundaries, her world explodes. Family loyalty is questioned, tradition turns heavy, and love is tested.
Pulled back home by her grandmother's final days, Ama must confront buried truths, generational sacrifice, and the role she was never meant to inherit. At the same time, a grounded, emotionally intelligent man offers her something unfamiliar: love without demands.
From Southern Africa to London, this powerful contemporary romance explores grief, family, boundaries, and the courage it takes to choose yourself-without losing love.
A moving story about healing, identity, and redefining what it means to give.
