His mother started seeing another man and gave birth to a daughter. The silence bred a feeling of betrayal, and unasked questions remained unanswered. Burdened with family secrets, the pain of rejection, and hope to see the wider world, Salim travels to London to get an education and repay a debt he does not yet know about. UDC 821.111 BBK 84
