Dear Uso
Mika seems like the perfect teenage son. Smart, sporty, hard-working, and the head junior prefect, he's the go-to for his friends and the dependable older brother. But beneath the surface, Mika struggles to balance school, work, and the heavy burden of family responsibilities, all while coping with the absence of his older brother, Tala.
As he uncovers family secrets, Mika learns that the real challenges lie not just in the world outside but within the walls of his own home.
Dear Uso, is a powerful prequel to the award-winning book Tama Samoa, delving into the complexities of family bonds, inherited struggles, and the enduring impact of the choices we make.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
