By Nitin Nanji Lakhani

Despairing of the social injustices and crippling taxes under the British Raj, Lalji, 19, flees to British East Africa hoping to build a better life using his natural business skills and acumen. But he soon finds unexpected dangers in his new home - turbulent politics and war with German East Africa - as well as some surprising opportunities. Then, just when he is at his most vulnerable, a new threat emerges where he least expects: from within his own family. Can Lalji beat overwhelming odds to fulfill his hopes and ambitions?

A story about survival, faith, ability, humanity, and a deep desire to succeed.
