Breadwinner

In the heart of Lagos, Akpana yearns for a life beyond the tangled web of her dysfunctional family. With her father Gregory's reputation in ruins after being caught embezzling, and her mother Felicia single-handedly holding the family together, Akpana's only escape is a job opportunity in England. It's her chance to break free from the chaos of her father's decision to marry a second, younger wife in a desperate bid for a son-while her mother bears the weight of their survival. But life in England isn't the fresh start Akpana imagined. Far from finding freedom, she becomes her family's financial lifeline, her hard-earned money funnelled back to Nigeria to feed her family's financial demands. As the family spirals deeper into dysfunction, Akpana is pulled further into their mess from thousands of miles away. Just when she thinks she's sacrificed enough, a shocking betrayal from someone she least expects shatters her world. With the family tearing apart at the seams, Akpana must decide whether blood ties are worth the price of her dreams-or if some bonds are meant to be broken forever.
