Olujimi Adeoba has spent a decade running. From his father's farm, from his brother's silence, from a God he stopped believing in the day his mother died. He ran deeper into money, into danger, into a life built on foundations that were never going to hold, until the world was finally finished with him, and there was only one direction left.

But home is not what he left. His father is a man who never stopped waiting. His brother is a man who never stopped paying for choices that were never his to make. And the welcome waiting for Jimi is not the one he deserves.

Irapada is a bold, richly textured novel that moves from the red earth of Abeokuta to the neon heat of Miami, the relentless ambition of New York, and the seductive chaos of Lagos, alive with the heat of Yoruba life, the violence of desperate choices, and the long, difficult road back to God, family, and self.

Some stories are two thousand years old because they are true. This is one of them: the parable of the prodigal son, reborn in contemporary Nigeria, where a father's love refuses to give up on a son the world has already buried, and where grace is still the most dangerous and beautiful force in the world.
