Poverty. Heard of it? you must have, whenever our televisions are switched on we are continuously reminded of less fortunate circumstances which take place within the third world, in documentaries and advertisement, even films; a starving child on the screen is all we see. But have you helped it? most likely not, as if sympathetic sighs some how will automatically feed the starving baby in need. But most of all have you lived it? maybe you have, maybe you was lucky enough like Therma.
Therma is a 16 year young Ghanaian girl; she might sound like the average teenager, just like you but Therma has been growing up in poverty.

So follow Therma in her moving life, As we see how it is for a African to gain success.

Book 3 of the 'Broken series' " Just mek mi know why yah act out suh Miliyon, why yuh insist fi mad me!" Judah yells, causing Miliyon to hiss her teeth at her mother.

Well guess what they're all grown up now. The triplets are now 16 years old and are as daring and rebellious as most teenagers.

With her having this type of personality can anything break her? Can anything or anyone tame her? Will she get worst? read to see if Khalil and Judah will be able to handle the many struggles that will come with raising their teenagers.
