The Secrets in the Walls

by Lola R. Opeyemi

Manoah was one of the lost children of the foster care farming generation, given away by his Nigerian parents so they could pursue their dreams of a career in London. But what happens when his foster mother, Mercedes, tries to keep him for good?
When a secret threatens the foster home and its residents, Manoah is forced to leave. But what happens to the foster children? And what about Ophelia Mayberry, the girl next door whom he falls for while he’s living with Mercedes?

The Secrets in the Walls is a story of courage and what it means to love with your whole heart.
