Across the oceans

Barrys heritage note is missing. He is caught up in the crisis of lost identity and bullying in school. Being under pressure to join gangsters, and his surrogate father wants him for illegal business across Europe, he leaves England for Nigeria in search of his roots on regaining the missing note.

Nigeria proves very challenging. His father who lives in London denies him, and his grandfather in Nigeria refuses to meet him. However, his great uncles and grandmother are convinced that Barry is their blood. He bears his fathers traits and the heritage note speaks volume.

His urgent return to London, running away from his evil relatives in Lagos, links his lost past with his present.
