Born in Trash, Lived Like a Treasure is a powerful story about resilience and self-discovery. It follows a young orphan named Nix, who, despite his harsh beginnings, chooses to rise above his circumstances. Adopted by Granny Laurie, an elderly woman who collects recyclables and weaving wigs, Nix learns that while we cannot control where we are born, we can shape who we become. Through his journey of survival in a challenging world, Nix not only learns the value of hard work and independence but also discovers the true meaning of family, love, and self-worth. Note: I apologize for the delayed updates. My schedule has been hectic due to working two jobs, leaving me with very little free time. I will continue to make an effort to upload whenever possible. I appreciate those who took the time to check out Tha-La. Some chapters may seem hurried because I tried to condense them, as my initial drafts were lengthy. I doubt anyone would spend more than 25 minutes listening to one chapter on max speed using @voice or similar tools.I will also try and post this work on Scribblehub for more exposure. PS: Tha-La is Tala in Tagalog which means Star.
