Description
Thirteen-year-old Shida faces numerous challenges in her life, including the loss of her father, her mother's struggles with depression, and the expectations of her community. In her rural Tanzanian village, she is pressured to marry rather than pursue her dream of becoming a healer. When the village's elders decide to relocate, Shida sees an opportunity to start anew and improve her circumstances. However, a series of misfortunes plagues the new village, and Shida must prove that the move was the right decision. As Shida navigates her new surroundings, she must confront the difficulties of her past and work towards a brighter future. With determination and resilience, she strives to prove to her people that they can have a better life in their new home. This heartwarming story explores themes of family, community, and the power of perseverance. For readers interested in stories about young people overcoming adversity, this book offers a compelling and relatable tale of self-discovery and growth.
