Brilliantly done... the reader is lured into a journey with Osas and nothing will ever prepare you for the ending. - Bookause Review. Osas Ediku was just four years old when her father, a devoted police officer, was tragically taken from her life. Left with no education and no inheritance, her mother Ruth made a quiet, ferocious vow: Osas would never be left behind. Ruth shaped their lives around the privileged children of her late husband's colleagues, forging ahead with unthinkable sacrifices and humiliating compromises to give her daughter the future she deserved.
Two decades later, Osas arrives in South London to begin her master's degree, an achievement hard-won. At Ruth's insistence and in spite of her reservations, Osas reconnects with Paul, Bayo, and Edafe, the sons of her father's former peers, men who are now rich and highly ranked in the force. Osas settles, safe in the assumption she's finally caught up, finally worthy of the same space they occupy.
But belonging isn't bought with ambition alone. Osas will soon find that she may have made it here like the boys, but the path she and her mother had taken isn't a well kept secret, and her journey, more than her destination has become her identity.
But belonging isn't bought with ambition alone. Osas will soon find that she may have made it here like the boys, but the path she and her mother had taken isn't a well kept secret, and her journey, more than her destination has become her identity.
