My dad my life : a battle of wills and loyalty

Sukoluhle Nontokozo Mdlongwa

Amanda Dlamini is a typical daddy’s girl - beautiful, vibrant, intelligent, kindhearted and ever-smiling. She lacks nothing in life and in the eyes of the world, she is a spoilt brat who is the envy of her peers. But Amanda isn’t in the least interested in the wealth her family enjoys. In fact, every opportunity she gets, she gives some of it away to those in need. All she cares about is her father, who adores her equally if not more.
But then her life is thrown into turmoil when her father is assassinated during her birthday celebrations, and a few hours later, the police arrive and put her in handcuffs as the mastermind behind the murder. Soon, the only state witness – the man who pulled the trigger and implicated Amanda – dies in police custody. All eyes fall on her: Is she trying to destroy all evidence against her?
What ensues is a cat and mouse pursuit as Amanda fights not only to clear her name, but to find her father’s killers before they kill again. Her need to know WHY tumbles family skeletons out of the cupboard one after the other, with her next-of-kin blocking her every attempt to get to the truth. With every secret she uncovers, the unsavoury truth about her family becomes hard to bear, leaving her heartbroken and questioning her own identity and if she really is a Dlamini.
