Description
This powerful novel tells the story of three generations of one Ghanian family and their struggles with love, understanding, and identity. Nana Ekua Brew-Hammond weaves a tender and illuminating tale that explores the complexities of family, community, class, and self-discovery.
When Kokui marries a man from a different world, she tries to escape the turbulent marriage of her parents, but history repeats itself when she faces similar challenges in America. Returning to Ghana after her husband's failure, Kokui must confront the ghosts of her past to heal and find closure.
Brew-Hammond's generous heart shines through in this bittersweet story that is both a compelling exploration of family dynamics and a deeply personal exploration of self-identity.
