A mother's sacrifice. A son's burden. A story you will never forget.
From the Amazon listing
Ifechi is fifteen when men arrive at the door with a video that could destroy his life. They give his mother a choice no mother should be given. She chooses him. She always chooses him.
For eleven years he watches her come home with empty eyes, from Owerri to Bangkok to Houston, and he can never speak of what he knows. This is his confession: a story of guilt that does not fade, of love that costs everything, and of what it is to be the reason someone you love is destroyed.
The characters are invented. The trade in human beings that moves through the book is not. I wrote it so that a number in a report would have a face and a name.
Who this book is for
For readers of hard, honest literary fiction, and for anyone who has ever been loved more than they could bear.
Where the money goes
Money from the books pays for the support line: airtime for the volunteers, and small emergency payments to LGBT+ Nigerians who need a night somewhere safe, a bus fare out of a dangerous town, or a clinic visit. If you would rather give directly, use the Buy Me a Coffee page.
