Worn: The Heavy Steps of a Breadwinner

Being the fifth among six siblings, Jericho never asked to carry the weight of the world—but life gave it to him anyway.

As the only one with a steady job, Jericho works late nights as an accountant to support his family, especially his youngest sibling Michael, whose future depends on him. When mounting debt, a crushing scam, and his own battle with anxiety threaten to break him, Jericho must decide: give up, or find the strength to carry on.

WORN: The Heavy Steps of a Breadwinner is a raw, true-to-life memoir of sacrifice, resilience, and hope. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by responsibility, this story will remind you that even the heaviest burdens can lead to personal triumph.
