Child: A Narrative on the Commodification of Human Life by Asifamaka Egerton-Wakama

At eighteen, Lina Harlow believed she was escaping poverty when she accepted a prestigious hospitality internship in Europe. Instead, she found a sophisticated web of deception, debt bondage, and exploitation that treated her not as a woman, but as a commodity.

Lured by false promises and trapped by an ever-growing "travel debt," Lina is forced through a brutal system designed to strip away her autonomy, one contract, one reassignment, and one silenced phone call at a time. As she moves from luxury spa to remote labor camp, she discovers that being legally an adult offers no protection in a world that profits from her powerlessness.

Raw, unflinching, and deeply human, CHILD exposes the hidden machinery of modern trafficking, where ambition is weaponized, shame is currency, and legal adulthood becomes the perfect disguise. A powerful literary thriller that challenges everything we think we know about consent, coercion, and who society chooses to see.

A story of one young woman's fight to reclaim her name and her voice in a system built to keep her silent.
