A Kinshasa Family Reunion, (Paperback)

<p><strong>&amp;#8203;Mamie Appiah is not dying. She is just very, very bored.</strong></p><p>After fifteen years of silence in her empty mansion, the matriarch of the Appiah dynasty decides that loneliness is a disease she isn't willing to tolerate anymore. So, she tells a little white lie-well, a rather large lie-about a failing heart to summon her four estranged children back home to the Democratic Republic of Congo.</p><p>&amp;#8203;They arrive in Kinshasa bringing a lifetime of baggage with them. There is <strong>Reggie</strong>, the high-powered New York lawyer who has forgotten his roots; <strong>Bodi</strong>, the hustler with a dangerous debt and a fake business in Gabon; <strong>Laurène</strong>, the influencer who cares more about Wi-Fi than family; and <strong>Stephanie</strong>, the artist running away from a lukewarm life in Cape Town.</p><p>Waiting for them at the gates is <strong>Patrice Liston</strong>, the serious, suit-wearing CEO who has been holding the family empire together while they were gone. He is the man who knows where all the bodies are buried-mostly because he helped Mamie hide them. He is also the boy Stephanie left behind, and the only one who remembers the girl she used to be.</p><p>As the humidity rises and the rumba plays, the Appiah siblings must navigate a chaotic web of secrets, embezzlement schemes, and jealous ex-fiancées. But when the truth about Mamie's health inevitably comes out, they have to decide what is more important: the lives they built apart, or the messy, loud, and beautiful home they are trying to save.</p><p><strong>Welcome to Kinshasa. The traffic is terrible, the food is spicy, and the family drama is just getting started.</strong></p><p> </p>
