Some debts are paid in money. Others, in silence.When Ayanda, a young man with big dreams, finally lands his first paycheck, he believes he’s one step closer to freedom. But in a home where pride runs deep and expectations never end, every success becomes another sacrifice - and every 'yes' chips away at the person he’s becoming.As the lists grow longer and the love grows thinner, Ayanda’s quiet obedience turns into quiet suffering. Between his family’s constant demands, his own growing debts, and a love caught between hope and duty, he begins to question the real cost of being 'a good son.'Set against the backdrop of family, culture, and the unseen weight of obligation, The Price of Being Born is a deeply moving story about identity, guilt, and the invisible chains we carry for those we love.A powerful, emotional read that asks:How much of yourself must you give before there’s nothing left to give?If you enjoy heartfelt African stories filled with emotion, realism, and reflection, this book will stay with you long after the final page.
