Amara was sixteen when she climbed out of a kitchen window with no shoes, no money, and no one coming to save her running from a stepmother who starved her and a father who watched and said nothing. She survived the streets of Lagos on stolen bread and quiet determination, working her way up from washing dirty plates to running a business empire worth more than she ever dared to dream. But surviving her past was never the same as escaping it. When a stranger tracks her down with a photograph of the mother she barely remembers, Amara learns the truth: her mother left her a fortune before she died one her father and stepmother have spent years trying to make disappear along with her. Now Amara has six weeks to prove she's alive, prove what was done to her, and fight her own family in a courtroom for everything that was always hers. She wins. She builds. She rises.
