He came searching for his mother. What he found was something far more sinister, along with a second chance at family.
Basketball star Osei Wharton has everything: fame, wealth, and the kind of future most people dream about. But none of it quiets the ache left by the mother who gave him up. When his search leads him to Sese, he believes he's finally found her.
He's wrong.
Sese isn't his mother, but she recognizes the longing in his eyes, a longing she once carried herself. Against her better judgment, she agrees to help him search for the truth. What begins as a simple search soon unravels into a dangerous web of secrets tied to the orphanage that shaped both their lives, and a truth someone is determined to bury at any cost.
