The Daughter They Threw Away

In the heart of Umuofia, where family names are more valuable than gold and reputation can determine whether a person lives with dignity or dies in shame, the powerful Okafor family has a secret buried beneath generations of wealth. Twenty-two-year-old Amara Okafor has always believed she was an unwanted daughter. Raised in poverty by a woman who refuses to tell her anything about her father, Amara grows up knowing only hardship, humiliation and rejection. While other girls dream of marriage and beautiful homes, she dreams of escaping the village that has made her feel worthless. But everything changes when a mysterious stranger arrives at her mother's funeral and announces that Amara is the only surviving heir to one of the wealthiest families in eastern Nigeria. There is just one problem. The Okafors insist she is an impostor. And the man who stands to lose everything if she is accepted as the rightful heir is the same man she once fell desperately in love with. As Amara enters a world of expensive houses, political influence, dangerous secrets and family conspiracies, she discovers that her mother's death may not have been natural. Her birth was a lie. Her inheritance was stolen. And the people who destroyed her childhood are not finished with her. What happens when the daughter they threw away returns to claim everything?
