The Long Walk To Destiny by Chimezie B. Ihekuna

The Long Walk To Destiny: A Novel of Redemption and Reckoning

She sought the truth about her past, but found a destiny forged in crime. Maya Isaacs, raised by her over-protective father Samuel in Durban, South Africa, was haunted by her absent mother and a fractured family. Her quest for identity led her into darkness.

She fell in with the Alternative Lifestyle Club (ALC), a secret society led by the ruthless Ms Diana and enforcer Craig, promising freedom and power. The club's criminal activities—stealing, drug trafficking, prostitution—enthralled Maya, offering her a chance at her "destiny" among the elite.

When Maya challenges the ALC, she learns it's a cage. Betrayed and arrested, she serves time in Johannesburg, where she realizes her self-made path was a lie, and the only way forward is redemption. An unexpected benefactor, Van Brussels, helps her re-enter society.

Given a second chance, Maya moves to the U.S., where she excels as a secretary, climbs the corporate ladder, and finds love with Daniel Young. But her past haunts her: family secrets, her father's sacrifice, and her true savior's identity threaten her happiness.

Can she find peace after a life marked by crime and betrayal? "The Long Walk To Destiny" is a gripping story of resilience, the cost of truth, and redemption, showing that the path to self-discovery often requires facing the deepest darkness.
