She had a father. She just never had him. 🔥🔥🔥 My name is Amara Okafor. But my father calls me "that girl from Lagos." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 For sixteen years I managed. Managed without birthday calls. Managed without PTA meetings. Managed the silence of a man who lives... but acts like he's dead. Then at 12:01 a.m., my phone vibrated. *Unknown Number:* "Hi. Sorry for bothering you this late. Can I ask you something weird?" Weird became war. Because the girl on the other side has my father's nose. My father's smile. My father's last name. She's his American princess. I'm his Lagos mistake. *BLACK AND WHITE* is the story of two daughters. One name. Two worlds. One war for a father's love. Lagos struggles. Diaspora privilege. Colorism that cuts deeper than skin. Told in Amara's raw voice. If you've ever asked "Why wasn't I enough?"... Amara is asking it with you. *_Vote ⭐ if her pain feels like yours. Comment 💬 if you're Team Amara 🇳🇬 or Team Aurora 🇺🇸. Add to list 📚 because this war is just starting.__ _Don Lhee writes the stories we hide in our chest._ P.S. Judges, readers, sisters... you're all welcome to this war 👑

Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. SA. Self-harm. Death, and more.
