Dedication

This book is dedicated to Abimbola. You suggested a series catch-up story for the Essiens. Here it is. I hope it meets your expectations.

He leaned back against the sofa, stopping the rubbing as he thought about her question. Any resentment I felt died years ago. My mother was the one she offended and my mum forgave her. He started rubbing the foot again. "My mum said to me once there’s a reason I was the first born considering my father’s affair started before he married my mother. And to
